Terra Drone and MODEC Renew Partnership to Advance Offshore Oil Tank Inspections
- Japan’s Terra Drone and MODEC have renewed their partnership to enhance offshore oil tank inspections utilizing Terra's UT drones for FPSOs.
- The collaboration focuses on non-destructive internal inspections of crude oil storage tanks on FPSOs, improving accuracy, safety, and efficiency.
- Terradrone's UT drones offer industrial-grade capabilities, assess steel wall thickness, and detect corrosion using ultrasonic sensors.
- Before measurements, tanks are cleaned, a gel is applied for ultrasonic transmission, and sensors assess tank walls for internal conditions.
- The partnership aims to optimize the operational deployment of this technology for enhanced inspection practices in the oil and gas industry.
- MODEC and Terra Drone innovate drone inspection techniques to enhance occupational safety, reduce manpower, and improve efficiency on FPSOs.
- By utilizing drones, FPSOs can save time during structural inspections, addressing challenges related to crew limitations and facility needs.
- The tethered power supply of Terra UT drones ensures uninterrupted flight, eliminating the requirement for battery changes.
- Through the renewed partnership, both companies seek to promote the adoption of drone-based inspection technologies across the industry.
- The companies are committed to improving workplace safety, tackling labor shortages, and streamlining inspection operations using drone technology.
