Benefit of Drone Flare Inspection in Oil and Gas Industry

Today, drones are revolutionising the world eminently, and its application is improving the efficiency and data produce when inspecting oil and gas industry. Since the flare stack is the most dangerous and challenging place to inspect. The use of drone flare inspection has impacted positively in the inspection process of the industrial plant. And it has become the most significant benefits of using drones in the oil and gas sector. What You Need To Know About Flare Stack and Its Inspection If you have ever driven by any petroleum refinery, you might have seen something that looks like a long vertical pipe with a burner at the top continually emitting flames, well that is flare stack. A flare stack is an elevated gas combustion vent pipe used in industrial plants to burn off excess pressurized gases.  In oil and gas industry, it is highly essential to carry out regular inspections on flare stack because this helps to prevent the dangers that can be caused by a massive explosion due to excess pressurized gases in the industrial plant.

Many industries and companies have started moving towards drones for a more convenient asset inspection. Some of the top adopters of the drone asset inspection are the Oil and Gas, Commercial builders, Energy and Power, Water Towers, Telecomm and other industries who believe in safety first and the speed of inspection. The companies deploying drones for inspection can always rely on a detailed, accurate and speedily produced inspection data whereas […]
