Energy Drone Summit 2017

Drones for Next-Gen Oil & Gas Facility Protection: UAV Technology Sniffing for Leaks, Surveying Operations and Protecting the Environment: Use Case Session (Room Legends Ballroom)

21 Jun 17
3:15 PM - 3:45 PM

Multinational energy corporations are investing in drone maintenance and surveillance, and are also considering the unique risks drone hardware and batteries poses to the physical infrastructure of oil and gas facilities. Wherever a drone operates to support a structure’s safety program, there must also be a security procedure to ensure proper use and entry of drones in the airspace.


Additional takeaways will answer these key questions: 

  • What are the risks involved with unauthorized drones in critical airspace? 
  • How can energy companies create a secure network of drones, when there are no fences available for airspace? 
  • What are the costs and considerations of shutdowns when a rogue drone enters the airspace of an energy facility, and how can these costs be avoided through early detection and intervention?

Why attend? If you are using a drone, you need to know the risks of unsecured airspace and why you need to detect all drones, whether they are approved for maintenance and surveying programs, or rogue.
