Automate Oil & Gas Operations with AI-Powered Docked Drones

Deploy AI-powered drone-in-a-box solutions to autonomously inspect assets, detect anomalies, and monitor oil & gas sites 24/7, from wellheads, pipelines, refineries, and storage facilities to offshore platforms, all from a secure remote operations centre.

Problem

While selecting a drone solution for oil & gas operations, do you often wonder…

How to monitor hazardous environments across your upstream, midstream, and downstream assets without putting personnel at risk?

How to streamline data collection and ensure regulatory compliance documentation across diverse operational assets?

How to detect equipment failures, gas leaks, and security threats before they become critical incidents?

How to integrate drone operations with your existing alarm systems for automated response to security alerts?

Built for Oil & Gas Drone Operations

From automating inspections to responding to incidents in real-time, FlytBase combines autonomous docked drones, AI, and seamless system integrations to deliver operational intelligence at scale.

Key Use Cases for Oil & Gas

Upstream Operations

Monitor drilling sites, wellheads, and production facilities with autonomous drones. Inspect critical equipment, detect methane emissions, and enhance perimeter security while creating comprehensive digital documentation of remote assets.

Midstream Operations

Automatically inspect pipeline networks, compressor stations, and storage facilities with scheduled drone missions. Detect leaks, monitor right-of-way encroachment, and ensure infrastructure integrity.

Downstream Operations

Conduct comprehensive refinery inspections, monitor tank farms, and secure processing facilities with autonomous drones. Deploy drones equipped with specialized thermal and gas detection sensors to identify emission sources and maintenance needs while maintaining thorough compliance documentation.

Offshore Platforms

Deploy docked drone systems on offshore platforms to inspect difficult-to-access areas, monitor marine approaches, and assist in emergency response. Reduce personnel transfers while maintaining continuous monitoring capabilities in challenging maritime environments.

Environmental Monitoring

Automatically patrol facility perimeters to detect and document emissions, spills, or environmental changes. Create regular compliance documentation with AI-analyzed imagery that identifies potential regulatory issues before they become violations.

Emergency Response

Launch drones automatically when alarms trigger to provide immediate visual assessment of incidents from well blowouts to storage tank fires. Provide critical situational awareness to response teams while maintaining a safe standoff distance from hazardous events.

Enterprise-Grade Features for Oil & Gas Applications

Enterprise-Grade Features for Oil & Gas Applications

Alarm Integration

Integrate existing alarm systems or IoT sensors via Flinks to automatically deploy drones when triggered, enabling instantaneous incident response.

FailSafes

Ensure safety and reliability with configurable failsafes like RTH (Return-to-Home), low battery alerts, and emergency hover protocols tailored to your site's needs.

Live Mission Recording

Record live missions with video and telemetry for post-mission review, compliance, training, or incident analysis, all securely stored and easily accessible.

Map Overlay & Annotation Import

Import custom map overlays and pre-defined annotations to guide drone missions, streamline planning, and maintain visual clarity across teams.

Report Generator

Auto-generate comprehensive mission reports with visuals, telemetry, and key metrics to support audits, incident documentation, and stakeholder communication.

Geofence and No-Fly Zones

Set operational boundaries with Geofences and define restricted areas with No-Fly Zones, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational safety.

Trusted by drone industry leaders worldwide

We wanted to optimize inspection routes at the Genelba power plant since the area was too large for inspectors to cover in a single shift. We decided to employ the FlytBase-powered autonomous drone-in-a-box solution due to its superior unattended flight technology and affordable price.

With FlytBase we can capture critical data during flights, seamlessly control our docks, and ensure safe flight operations. This technology will help us detect faults in solar panels, monitor construction progress, and streamline the placement of docks on-site from the start of construction.

FlytBase's technology works smoothly in flight operations, allowing for real-time, automated inspections without operational disruptions. Although in the early stages of full integration, the benefits are clear. We value FlytBase's innovative approach and ongoing support as we continue to refine our maintenance processes.
