OREANDA-NEWS. February 14, 2013. ТNК-ВР informs that OJSC ТNК-Nyagan (TNK-BP Group of Companies) has invested over 15 mln rubles in the creation of a four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) fleet within the 24/7 aerial monitoring program for the Company fields in KhMAO, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP. 

TNK-BP is consistently implementing the intelligent oil production management system across the Company. Aerial field monitoring with the use of UAV allows controlling the environmental situation and technical condition of oil pipelines in online mode. The UAV pilot project has been implemented in OJSC Samotlorneftegaz and has proven highly efficient.

"TNK-Nyagan fields have a complex landscape and a lot of hard-to-reach areas. Implementing the project will secure continuous control over the entire territory of the fields in any weather conditions and will allow a significant reduction in environmental and economic risks," says Evgeny Lapshin, General Director, TNK-Nyagan.
