Remote Oil Pipeline Inspection & Surveying Nigeria Skeye B.V. provides services with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as photographing, mapping and measuring and inspecting objects from the air. The management of these UAVs and the planning and execution of the operations (calculation of flight paths, distances, taking into account environmental factors, etc.) is done by the specifically trained Skeye employees. The Nigerian economy is heavily dependent on oil production in the country. The Nigeria-based oil and gas companies together have almost 13,000 kilometres of pipeline. The large number of kilometres of pipelines that often lie in marshy environments makes it very difficult to carry out patrols and inspection work by car or boat. In addition, the work situations for the employees are very unsafe due to attacks by pirates and rebels around the oil and gas installations and pipelines and oil leakages often result in environmental damage and then in large lawsuits for the oil and gas companies. Oil and gas companies have a great need to better protect their properties and to prevent leaks. Skeye wants to demonstrate a number of its services in Nigeria with a high-tech UAV:1. Surveillance of areas and / or objects;2. Visual and infrared inspections;3. Survey and mapping (engineering surveys, dredging and volume calculations).
