Oil and gas inspections

The challenge

Oil and gas operators manage a broad portfolio of high-risk assets — from refineries and processing plants to long-distance pipeline networks and offshore platforms.

Each environment presents its own operational complexity:

Facility inspections (refineries, plants, tanks, flare stacks)

• Dense and hazardous zones with heat, emissions, cranes and confined spaces.
• Strict safety and permit-to-work requirements.
• Need for consistent RAMS and reporting across large, distributed teams.
• Complex hazards that shift as plant activity changes.

Pipeline inspections (onshore, offshore, remote corridors):

• Long linear assets requiring highly repeatable flight workflows.
• Large distances in remote or environmentally exposed areas.
• Poor or non-existent connectivity along routes.
• Requirement for traceable logs for corrosion tracking, maintenance cycles and regulatory audits.

Offshore inspections (platforms, rigs, FPSOs):

• Harsh marine conditions with unpredictable winds and rapid weather changes.
• Isolated environments with zero connectivity.
• Limited safe deployment windows.
• Mandatory documentation for regulators and insurance.
• High stakes — every operation must be logged and traceable.

Across all asset types, teams require repeatable, safe and fully documented workflows — but manual planning, fragmented logs and inconsistent documentation make inspections slow, risky and difficult to track.

The solution

heliguy.io delivers a unified inspection workflow for facility, pipeline, and offshore operations, giving oil and gas teams consistency, clarity, and confidence across every mission.

• Hazard-aware RAMS generation quickly identifies operational risks unique to refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms before deployment.
• Offline-first mission planning enables safe, structured operations, even in remote corridors or offshore environments with zero network access.
• Automatic DJI log retrieval helps capture every flight accurately for maintenance reporting and compliance trails.
• Standardised inspection templates create repeatable workflows for flare stacks, tanks, pipeline segments, and offshore structures.
• Live environmental and NOTAM updates help teams reduce risk and avoid delays by identifying weather and airspace changes early.
• Equipment & battery lifecycle tracking supports better maintenance decisions across distributed inspection teams.

Results

heliguy.io empowers oil and gas companies to operate more safely, reduce costs, and maintain full compliance — even in the most complex inspection environments.

Benefits:

• Safer inspections through structured hazard identification.
• Clear, repeatable workflows that help teams manage inspections confidently in hazardous or complex environments.
• Standardised planning and automated data capture, ensuring every mission meets the same high-quality benchmark.
• Every flight is logged and documented automatically, providing a complete and seamless workflow for compliance and audit readiness.
• Reduced admin and streamlined processes enable crews to focus on asset integrity rather than paperwork.
• Offline capability and automatic post-flight synchronisation support operations in remote refineries, offshore platforms, and isolated pipeline corridors.
• From dense industrial plants to remote terrain and offshore rigs, heliguy.io ensures teams stay compliant, organised, and fully documented.
