Oil & Gas: Inspection, Response, and Security

Gain new perspective for greater safety and efficiency.

See how aerial robotics help you reduce incidents and accelerate response.

Get started

See what you’re missing – fast.

Put eyes in the sky with autonomous drones anyone can fly, on-site, or remotely from a browser anywhere in the world. Conduct inspections more often to spot issues and take action before a failure. Secure your sites with around-the-clock overwatch. And swiftly contain emergent incidents with real-time situational awareness day or night.

Intelligence, available now.

Put eyes on operating assets in seconds, without waiting on specialized crews or shutting down the work.

See operating assets up close.

Navigate dense steel, tight pipe racks, and GPS-challenged areas to capture consistent views when access is limited and operations can’t pause.

Go inside.

Navigate GPS-denied, zero-light environments inside tanks, vessels, and enclosed infrastructure, reducing confined entry exposure and accelerating condition assessment.

Detect the anomaly. Verify the fix.

Visual and thermal capture reveal corrosion, insulation loss, coating damage, and heat anomalies at safe standoff distances. Repeat viewpoints to confirm repairs and track change over time.

Analyze assets in 3D.

Repeatable reality capture enables measurement, anomaly verification, and comparison over time, supporting engineering decisions with documented evidence.

Maintain continuous situational awareness.

Autonomous patrols and alarm-triggered launches reduce blind spots around refineries, terminals, and tank farms. Respond to incidents with live aerial context while keeping personnel outside the hazard zone.

I can’t overstate the improvement in data quality we saw with Skydio X10. We went from binoculars and digital cameras to high-quality, high-resolution video. That change paved the way for more precise, more accurate data, and better insights.”

Autonomous operations, remotely deployed.

With Dock for X10 and Remote Ops, inspection and response become scheduled, repeatable operations, launched when the site needs data, not when crews are available*.

Establish fixed aerial coverage across distributed facilities, reducing truck rolls and enabling faster fault verification.
