Transforming Oil and Gas Inspections with Drones

February 5, 2019


Bruin E&P Partners is an Oil and Gas exploration and production company based in Houston, Texas. They have leveraged drones to successfully manage and acquire new assets. Before drones they had to commission planes to fly sites. Being able to easily repeat inspections with drones with an onsite person has improved safety, which is obviously extremely important to the oil and gas industry.

If you don't already have an internal drone program, now is the time to jump on it. It's easy to use, and your data comes quick. DroneDeploy has made it easier for us. There's no better time to start.

They have kept up with regulations for what's already built out on-site, as well as monitoring situations as they arise. Kyle explains that he's more able to do his job from anywhere, a pilot can collect field data and communicate details back the same day. With 5 offices and 110 employees, drone data has become an absolute necessity.

Bruin E&P Partners uses DroneDeploy's thermal Live Map features to run inspections of nearby their sites. Because of this, they avoided sending staff into potentially dangerous situations, enabling them to make critical decisions about pressure points or mitigating factors that need more analysis or a fix.

DroneDeploy enables companies like Bruin E&P Partners to comply with federal regulations and improve the inspection of oil wells and pads at various remote sites across world.
