Oil, Gas & Mining

Drone Solutions

  1. Volumetric Surveys & Exploration

In open-pit mines, RTK or PPK enabled drones equipped with high-resolution RGB cameras capture images of a site from various vantage points. Photogrammetry software is used to recreate survey-grade maps, digital terrain models or digital surface models of the mining site, allowing operators to extract precise volumetric data of stockpiles on demand.

Additionally, drone data yields high-resolution orthophotos and maps that better inform mining exploration projects, especially in areas where it can be challenging to travel on foot.

2. Mine Site Rehabilitation

Mining businesses are committed to sustainability and minimising environmental impacts of their projects.

By combining UAV multispectral sensing with seed spreading drones, mines can proactively plan for and improve on their rehabilitation performances on a landscape-wide basis.

3. Asset Inspection & Digitisation

Asset inspectors at oil production and refinery facilities use drones to safely monitor flares and the steam systems using a combination of drone mounted thermal and high-resolution zoom cameras, without the need of placing any personel at risk by reducing the need to put people at heights.

Operators can conduct regular facility patrols and routine safety inspections with automated drone flights, documenting key findings and critical issues seamlessly.

Using survey-grade drones, operators can produce high-definition 2D maps and 3D models of facilities and vertical structures, illustrating inspection results digitally.

Other Benefits

Drone inspection for oil and gas installations.

You can also use drones to perform detailed visual inspections of existing oil & gas installations. Models equipped with both hi-resolution cameras and thermal imaging sensors are widely used for maintenance and safety inspections — providing operators with a birds-eye view of production facilities and pain points.

Drones in mining — mineral mapping and hazard identification

Drones are not just useful for mining rehabilitation projects. They can also quickly create detailed maps and surveys of active sites and identify potential hazards.

Compared to manual survey and inspection methods, drones are faster, safer and more economical. It is also possible to identify local risks quickly and efficiently without endangering mining personnel.

Revolutionising Oil, Gas and Mining Industry in Australia with Drone Technology

  • Drones in mining are used for stockpile monitoring, mineral mapping, hazard identification and mine site rehabilitation.

    • Stockpile monitoring — Mapping drones in mines are used regularly to survey stockpiles using mapping software, producing volumetric calculations essential to understanding material quantities. Mapping drones equipped with real-time kinematics (RTK) provide highly accurate data that earthworks professionals can use confidently.

    • Mineral mapping — Drones in mining are crucial in determining whether an area potentially hosts high mineral deposits. This is an essential part of prospecting in any mining project.

    • Hazard identification — To keep workers safe, drones survey a mine and determine potential or existing hazards. This means that workers won’t have to risk their own safety to perform these checks.

    • Mine site rehabilitation — The practical use of drones in mining extends to restoration. By using UAV multispectral sensing, drones equipped with seed spreading mechanisms can survey a mine and efficiently work on stimulating growth.

  • Using UAV multispectral sensing, high-resolution RGB cameras, and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) or Post Processed Kinematic (PPK) GPS technologies, drones conduct surveys in potential project sites. Surveying is the process of inspecting sites for project potential, earthworks productivity, and hazard identification.

  • Drones in the oil and gas industry are used to survey both existing and potential production facilities. They’re used to inspect areas to identify pain points and hazard risks.

  • Drones have the capability to inspect both the interior and exterior of a project site. This way, they can survey risks and plan the future of projects to determine the best approach.

  • Asset inspection involves inspecting and surveying an asset — in this case, a project site — to determine the best way to manage it in the future. Drone inspection in oil and gas projects is increasingly popular as they eliminate some of the risk involved in site inspections. Inspection drones can be equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras, zoom cameras, and gas leak detectors.

  • Prisma Technologies helps commercial customers implement drones into their business operations — with drone training also available — to increase efficiency and drive productivity. Most importantly, drones in the oil and gas industry and drones in mining help ensure the safety of workers. Explore our oil, gas, and mining solutions to see how we can help you today.
