In China, oil and gas pipelines have the characteristics of large geographical span and long construction time, and the total mileage of pipelines is still growing continuously. Under this circumstance, it is more urgent to strengthen the safety patrol and management of pipelines. Oil and gas pipelines are generally distributed in linear shape. Since the pipelines are huge, manual inspection by conventional means is labor-intensive, risky and inefficient, so it becomes a better choice to use UAV for pipeline inspection.
UAV pipeline inspection features high efficiency, low risk, all-weather operation, automation, etc. With the click of a mouse, UAV can collect the latest pipeline data and automatically generate inspection report, saving manpower and material resources, and becoming a new choice for the oil and gas industry at home and abroad.
Uavs play an important role in the oil and gas industry, station management, pipeline inspection, exploration and construction, improving work efficiency while reducing enterprise costs, bringing new technological changes to the energy industry
The UAV is fully automatic and unattended. It can plan the route, deliver the task with just one button, fly autonomously, and transmit real-time videos, photos, flight trajectories and data during the inspection.
Automatic identification of abnormal events, leaks, defects (people, vehicles and stationary objects encroach on the pipeline), intelligent analysis of inspection data, and real-time push of alarm information to the relevant personnel for processing.
Combined with multi-angle visible light, thermal imaging and gas detector to detect and diagnose the equipment, the information is comprehensive and accurate, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
Equipped with the visible light and infrared camra, the oil leakage inspection UAV can monitor the pipeline security situation 24 hours a day and night, monitor whether there is drilling and stealing oil in the pipeline, monitor suspicious personnel and vehicles, detect and track the personnel stealing oil, and transmit the information back to the inspection and monitoring center in real time.
Equipped with the aerial survey camera, tilt camera, laser radar, etc., the oil pipeline inspection UAV can conduct geographical mapping and scene modeling of oil fields, generate orthoimage and stereoscopic model map of oil fields, and carry out digital planning of new pumping units and oil transmission pipelines.
Equipped with visible light camera and mapping equipment, the natural gas pipeline inspection UAV can monitor whether there is illegal construction in the safety protection belt of the pipeline, and monitor the changes of the terrain and geomorphology on the left and right sides of the gas pipeline.
