Oil and Gas Pipeline Survey Service

Pipeline and Facility Surveys Without Putting Personnel Into Hazard Zones

Manual inspection of pipelines, terminals, storage assets, and process units is slow, expensive, and difficult to document consistently. Our drone-based thermal, visual, and LiDAR workflows cover long pipeline corridors, identify ROW encroachments, inspect tanks and flare stacks, and produce georeferenced records for integrity teams, O&M teams, and compliance teams across India.

Survey Applications

Specialized workflows for pipeline corridors, storage assets, and oil and gas facilities.

Pipeline Corridor Monitoring

Complete corridor documentation with photogrammetry and LiDAR for ROW management, patrolling, and integrity monitoring.

Pipeline route mapping
ROW encroachment detection
Terrain, crossings, and erosion documentation

Thermal Leak Indication Surveys

Thermal drone surveys flag temperature anomalies that may indicate leakage or abnormal operating conditions on pipelines and facilities.

Temperature anomaly detection
Leak point georeferencing
Thermal inspection reports

Refinery, Terminal, and Tank Inspection

High-resolution inspection of vessels, flare stacks, storage tanks, and process areas without putting personnel in hazardous zones.

Tank and vessel inspection
Flare stack condition checks
Corrosion and coating assessment

Compliance Documentation

Georeferenced, time-stamped inspection records structured for internal audits and India-specific regulatory workflows.

Inspection audit trails
OISD and PNGRB reporting support
Regulatory documentation packages

Pipeline Corridor Survey and ROW Management

Photogrammetry and LiDAR capture complete pipeline corridor geometry including terrain, vegetation, crossings, washouts, and encroachments, producing the data needed for ROW management, patrol planning, and integrity reviews.

What We Capture

Pipeline route and marker locations
ROW boundaries and encroachments
Drainage crossings and erosion points
Vegetation and land-use changes
Access roads and third-party activity
Washout, exposure, and slope risk zones

Corridor Outputs

High-resolution corridor orthomosaics
ROW encroachment and change-detection maps
Crossing and infrastructure documentation
Terrain profiles and elevation data
GIS-ready vector layers for patrol teams
Time-stamped evidence for integrity records

Photogrammetry can cover 50-100 km of corridor per day depending on route width, terrain, and permissions. Multi-drone deployment is available for larger networks.

Facility, Tank, and Thermal Inspection

Drone inspection helps integrity and maintenance teams inspect hazardous or hard-to-access assets without scaffolding, rope access, or routine service disruption.

What We Inspect

Storage tanks and process vessels
Flare stacks, chimneys, and columns
Valve stations and metering facilities
Pipe racks, manifolds, and loading areas
External corrosion, coating, and insulation issues
Tank shell geometry and settlement indicators

Inspection Deliverables

Thermal anomaly georeferenced maps
Leak indication priority reports
Annotated photo inspection packs
3D facility models and point clouds
Corrosion and damage documentation
Maintenance planning recommendations

Thermal inspection complements, but does not replace, subsurface or instrument-based leak detection methods. It is most useful for screening, prioritization, and visual evidence.

India Compliance and Operator Workflows

Deliverables are structured for Indian operators and auditors who need current, traceable, georeferenced records across upstream, midstream, terminal, and city gas assets.

Supported Assets and Operators

ONGC and OIL upstream facilities
GAIL and city gas distribution corridors
IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL terminals and depots
Refineries, petrochemical sites, and storage farms
Remote assets in Assam, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and KG Basin support zones
Onshore pipeline and midstream terminal networks

Documentation and Reporting Support

OISD periodic inspection records
PNGRB corridor monitoring support
PESO-linked storage asset documentation
Audit-ready time-stamped imagery and models
ROW encroachment evidence for field verification
DGCA-compliant operational recordkeeping

If your internal template is mandatory, we align the reporting pack before the first field cycle so the data is delivered in the format your operations or integrity team expects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about oil and gas pipeline drone surveys.

Thermal drone surveys detect hydrocarbon product leakage from buried or above-ground pipelines as thermal anomalies at the surface - either from the temperature difference between the product and the surrounding soil, or from evaporative cooling effects at the leak point. Thermal inspection complements but does not replace subsurface leak detection methods for buried pipelines.
