Minimize equipment downtime and personnel risks
through drone inspections
Pipeline integrity management
Autonomous UAVs enable extraction companies to conduct regular inspections of oil and gas pipelines without deploying personnel.
Drones can detect structural damage, assess infrastructure integrity, evaluate compressor station conditions, and identify hydrocarbon leaks. 24/7 aerial surveillance of pipeline networks significantly mitigates the risk of illegal activities.

UAV-based infrastructure inspection
Conventional inspection methods necessitate the shutdown of flare systems and storage tanks. Utilizing UAVs eliminates the need for production interruptions.
Drones streamline the inspection process for drilling rigs and equipment, offshore platforms, floating roofs of above-ground oil storage tanks, as well as facilitate the examination of buildings and other structures in oil production areas.

Environmental compliance
Drones equipped with advanced environmental sensors provide round-the-clock monitoring of air quality, water sources and surrounding vegetation.
Careful monitoring allows companies not only to reduce their environmental impact but also to ensure strict compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly regarding methane emissions.

Ensuring employee safety
During oil and gas operations, personnel are exposed to flammable materials, toxic gases, complex equipment, and high-altitude work environments. UAV-based inspections can substitute human presence in hazardous areas, leveraging high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging sensors, and LiDAR technology.
This is how oil and gas companies can reduce the cost of medical insurance and personal protective equipment.

Here are 7 key differences that make Microavia the superior choice:
- Microavia drones ensure 98% uptime with only a 2 min interruption thanks to an automated battery replacement system. Competitors require over 32 minutes to charge from 20% to 90%, reducing effective operating time to less than 45%.
- Unlike competitors, Microavia's drone-in-a-box integrates real-time tracking with AI-based object detection and alert systems, providing enhanced situational awareness for security and monitoring purposes.
- Microavia's UAVs are ready for use in Gulf countries, field-tested, and can operate in high desert temperatures (+60°C).
- Customization and flexibility: Microavia's module can be adapted to specific customer needs, including third-party payloads and hardware integration.
- Extended battery life and reduced maintenance costs: Microavia drones use four batteries maintained at optimal temperature, providing over 500 operational cycles per battery. This ensures up to six months of uninterrupted operation without maintenance, compared to a single-battery system requiring maintenance after 1.5 months.
- Proven track record with government entities: Microavia has established itself as a reliable supplier for government clients, including the Ministry of Defense, demonstrating its dependability in challenging conditions.
- One-year warranty, training, and deployment included: Microavia provides a comprehensive service package that includes a one-year full coverage warranty, on-site operator training, and deployment assistance, ensuring seamless and efficient setup.
Staff. Drone management and maintenance require a team, including drone operators, technicians, and data analysis. Training and training of employees is also required to create a headquarters responsible for coordinating the work of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Equipment. In addition to drones, you will need stations, flight control software, data analysis software, batteries, sensors, and cameras.
Communication infrastructure. It is necessary to ensure stable and fast data connections between drones and the central control system using mobile networks or other data transmission technologies.
