Aerial monitoring of pressure oil pipeline routes in the territory of JSC NK Kondaneft

ZALA AERO was recognised as the best in the tender for aerial monitoring of pipeline routes and industrial infrastructure facilities of JSC NK Kondaneft using unmanned aerial systems.

The purpose of the works is aerial monitoring of pipelines during the flood period, prompt identification of discrepancies on field pipelines and control of pipeline crossings and passages.

For aerial monitoring, ZALA AERO uses fixed-wing and helicopter-type UAVs with interchangeable target payloads to record HD video images with a high sensitivity mode for day and night operations, as well as dusk and poor weather conditions.

The monitoring results will be transmitted to the workplaces of Kondaneft employees in real time, display an electronic map of the BVS flight route and automatically generate a card of identified incidents.

Upon completion of aerial monitoring, the photomaterials will be decoded by means of the information-analytical system in order to identify suspected deviations in the investigated area.

A full range of aerial monitoring services for the pipelines and adjacent infrastructure totalling over 21,200 kilometres, will be implemented from the beginning of 2021 until the end of 2023.
