Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, are becoming integral to the oil and gas industry due to their increasing usability across the value chain to drive operational efficiency, according to a report from GlobalData.
Initially, drone adoption in the oil and gas industry was used for strategic deployments such as remote monitoring and surveillance of assets during regular operations, as well as emergency situations, but recent advancements in sensing and imaging technologies are enabling drones to be deployed in a wide range of settings to carry out predictive maintenance of critical infrastructure, GlobalData said.
Remote Monitored Systems PLC (LON:RMS) is focused on the continued development of the Company’s ‘Survey & Inspection’ business. RMS wholly owns Geocurve Limited a specialist data collection, surveying and data analysis business.
