Problem
Oil and gas pipeline operators face challenges in efficiently detecting leaks and identifying threats along extensive right-of-ways, often relying on traditional, less frequent ground patrols. This can lead to delayed detection of liquid hydrocarbon leaks, geohazards, and other integrity issues, increasing environmental and safety risks.
Solution
Flyscan provides automated airborne inspection services for oil and gas pipeline operators, utilizing advanced imaging technologies and artificial intelligence to enhance right-of-way integrity. The platform enables real-time identification of liquid hydrocarbon leaks, including small crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel leaks, as well as geohazards like soil erosion and slippage. By transforming traditional ROW patrol into a high-value multi-service platform, Flyscan facilitates early warning and risk prevention, allowing operators to act on threats such as pipeline exposure, excavation scars, and drainage tile issues. Survey results are made available to the customer online in a password-protected area and can be analyzed and documented directly in the field with a GPS-capable tablet.
Target Audience
The primary customers are midstream and upstream oil and gas pipeline operators responsible for maintaining the integrity and safety of their right-of-ways.
Features
- Detection of liquid hydrocarbon leaks (crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) from a regular patrol plane
- Real-time alerts for threats including vehicles, infrastructure, pipeline exposure, and excavation scars
- Geohazard assessment for slippages, bank erosion, and floods
