Pipelines require a lot of data collection in order to operate smoothly and safely. Traditionally, this data has not been cheap or easy to obtain. Pipeline industry professionals are increasingly turning to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, to help them meet these challenges.
According to McKinsey, the UAV industry is expected to grow to $26 billion by 2026. The oil and gas industry is expected to benefit significantly from this growth.
The Aerial Applications team recently attended this year’s NG Oil & Gas Summit in Austin, TX. We had some great conversations, attended some fascinating sessions, and got a feel for what’s getting people talking in the industry.
The future of public safety will be hosted on 5G networks. That’s why Verizon is sponsoring incubation labs with the aim of finding innovative solutions for first responders that will prepare them for new challenges in a changing world.
