Oil & Gas Drone Production Site Footage

 

 

Recently, Renner Vaughn, business development director @ Cape & David Alderman, Managing Partner @ CRT Services teamed to initiate a remote oil & gas drone using aerial telepresence & infrared thermal imagery in observation of a North Dakota production site.   The video footage below shows several dramatic highlights including a thermal read of the tank levels, the activity of the team members from above, and provides a tantalizing preview of the possibilities for management teams to keep real-time tabs on their most valuable assets.

Renner Vaughn:                   00:01                       Hey there. We’re here in North Dakota, in the Bakken, flying some drones. Going to take a flight, inspect some sites, and see what kind of good footage we can get.

Renner Vaughn:                   00:16                       Just watching to pump jacks move with the thermal camera via Cape Telepresence. Another day in the oil field. Yeah.

Renner Vaughn:                   00:45                       Isn’t that crazy how even the ground heats up different, like where the tire tracks are?

Speaker 2:                               00:45                       Yeah.

Speaker 2:                               00:45                       This stuff’s crazy.

Renner Vaughn:                   00:45                       I never noticed it.

David Alderman:                 01:05                       So here we can really see the sharp lines on the liquid volumes in the tanks.

Speaker 2:                               01:10                       Look at that oil & gas drone.

Renner Vaughn:                   01:15                       So far so good out here today. Got a lot of flights done, checked some tank levels, ran around a few sites. Been able to capture some great video and show a few things to the guys on the pad here. Now we’re looking at the right of ways and going to fly a little bit of pipeline and see what kind of good stuff we can find.
