Case Study: 3R Petroleum inspects 63 tanks in 2 weeks with Flyability's Elios drones

3R Petroleum inspects 63 tanks in 14 days with Flyability

The customer, 3R Petroleum, faced a significant challenge inspecting 63 large tanks on its offshore oil rig, the 3R-2, due to strict limits on personnel onboard and the time-consuming, hazardous nature of traditional rope-access methods. Flyability's partner, TDBR Inspections, utilized the Elios 2 and Elios 3 drones to address this need for a safer, more efficient inspection process.

Using Flyability's drones, the TDBR team completed all 63 tank inspections in just 14 days with only two staff members, conducting 88 flights. This solution eliminated the need for human entry into confined spaces, improved safety, and optimized personnel logistics. The data collected met all required regulatory standards, demonstrating a massive increase in efficiency compared to traditional methods that could take months.
