ZIYAN Smart Oil & Gas Pipeline Inspection Solution with F15 UAV

Oil & Gas Pipelines: The Vital Lifeline of Energy Infrastructure
As the backbone of global energy transportation, oil and gas pipelines require rigorous and efficient inspection to ensure operational safety. Traditional manual inspection methods are often slow, labor-intensive, and prone to oversight. Recognizing the urgency for transformation, ZIYAN has coordinated with its partner to develop a cutting-edge solution for intelligent pipeline inspection.

A Comprehensive, Unmanned Inspection Ecosystem

ZIYAN's Smart Pipeline Inspection Solution is a next-generation, fully integrated system designed to revolutionize oil and gas infrastructure monitoring. It combines the F15 Unmanned Helicopter, the Coordination Command Platform, AI Recognition System, and Autonomous Charging Stations to create a closed-loop inspection ecosystem.

Key features include:

• F15 Unmanned Helicopter

• 100-minute flight endurance

• 5kg payload capacity

• Level 8 wind resistance

• Simultaneous payload support: cameras, megaphones, gas detectors

• Robust performance in extreme terrains such as high-altitude areas, deserts, and river valleys

• Capable of inspecting up to 60km of pipeline per mission in A-to-B autonomous mode

• 6–8x more efficient than manual inspection

• Real-Time Data Transmission
  The UAV streams high-resolution inspection data directly to the SkyGuard Command Platform, enabling centralized monitoring.

• AI-Powered Risk Detection
  The AI system boasts over 80% accuracy in identifying risks such as exposed pipelines, fuel theft, third-party encroachment, geologic threats, and emergency incidents. All risks are visualized on a single dashboard, with one-tap alerts dispatched to field staff for rapid response and decision-making.

• Autonomous Charging Stations
  Support for automated drone charging enables 24/7 uninterrupted patrols, ensuring continuous coverage of critical pipeline infrastructure.

  
  

Field-Proven Performance

ZIYAN's solution has undergone real-world validation at an oilfield in Gansu, China. During the trial, the system accurately detected 50 potential hazards, significantly boosting both inspection efficiency and safety.

Enabling Full Lifecycle Management

From early detection to emergency response, ZIYAN's intelligent inspection system empowers oil and gas operators with reliable, high-efficiency operations and maintenance (O&M). This marks a significant leap toward smart lifecycle management for energy infrastructure.
