Operational continuity in roads and surface pipelines

Automatic inspection and light logistics with microbases and industrial drones within the block.

Key Benefits

Less time lost

Automatic flights show the real status of roads and surface pipelines. The operation acts before interruptions occur and avoids test runs.

Lower OPEX in transfers and failures

Early risk detection reduces retries, man-hours, and vehicle mobilization. Light logistics allows resolving simple tasks between pads without sending a truck, significantly lowering movement costs.

Greater safety for personnel

The team travels fewer kilometers on uncertain terrain. Drones inspect first, and personnel only enter when it is safe and necessary.

How It Works

Ongoing visual inspection

Drones take off from microbases located near the pads and traverse roads and surface pipelines following routes defined by the operator. They deliver an up-to-date reading of the terrain and the pipeline environment.

Resolve quickly without moving trucks

When a specific need is detected, a cargo drone can carry light tools or consumables between nearby points within the block. Quick tasks are resolved without requiring a full vehicle transfer.

Anticipate interruptions

Each flight generates objective records of the terrain status and the surface pipeline environment. The operation prioritizes tasks, plans access, and reduces downtime with recent information.

Operational Autonomy Within the Block

Regular visual inspection of roads and surface pipelines
We detect erosion, mud, accumulated water, obstructions, and visible pipeline exposure from the air.

Integrated light logistics
We move tools and consumables between points without mobilizing trucks, reducing OPEX and response time.

Autonomous flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
Routes defined internally by the operator, with regulatory approval

Continuous record of the block's status
Each flight generates objective data to improve planning and safety.

Impact

Fewer operational interruptions
Risks in roads and rights-of-way are detected early, and the operation can act in time to avoid delays and activity shutdowns.

More predictable access

Each flight delivers an objective reading of the terrain status. Daily planning becomes more accurate, and retries are reduced.

Decisions based on real data
The operation stops relying on fragmented reports or estimates. It works with daily information showing how the block evolves.

Trust

Active demonstrator in the heart of Vaca Muerta
The system is already operating in a real environment in Fernández Oro for testing and validation with industrial clients.

Ecosystem of local partners
We work with suppliers and specialists in Neuquén and Río Negro who ensure field support and rapid deployment of the network.

Production-ready architecture
The microbases and industrial drones we use meet standards for continuous operation and offer the robustness needed for shale environments.

FAQ

Do the drones operate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)?

Yes. We perform automatic flights without visual line of sight within the block, over routes defined internally by the operator and under the corresponding permits.

What happens if weather conditions prevent a flight?

We work with safe operational windows. If weather conditions do not allow flight, terrestrial backup is activated from the same microbase.

What is a microbase?

It is a landing and battery swap point that allows drones to cover segments of 9km autonomously.

Can I see a demonstration?

Yes. We organize demonstrations or validation pilots in controlled environments, coordinated with the client and regulatory authorities.

How does the service cost compare to the savings generated?

The diagnostic model allows contrasting investment vs. savings in OPEX and avoidable operational losses, so the decision is supported by objective indicators.

Want to see the impact on your operation with your own data?

We offer a no cost diagnostic, including a customized estimate based on your operational range and incident criticalities.
