LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – Spectrum Data, a joint-venture between AVIAN, Inc. and DataSight, was recently awarded a contract to provide the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) with drone services.
Spectrum Data will use unmanned air systems to collect data regarding the integrity of flowlines using remote sensing devices, especially for off-location flowlines that move fluids away from well pads to another location.
Working closely with COGCC’s Engineering Integrity team, Spectrum Data will support efforts to provide prevention, investigation, mitigation, and monitoring related to integrity of flowlines, crude oil transfer lines, and oil and gas facilities located throughout Colorado.
“We’re excited for this new work with COGCC and very much look forward to supporting their mission of fostering the responsible development of Colorado’s natural resources,” said John Slaughter, AVIAN’s vice president for UAS, Data Collection and Emerging Solutions. “We are confident that the data collected by our field units will give the Department of Natural Resources needed information to make the best and safest decisions possible.”
Spectrum Data integrates safe and professional unmanned aviation operations, leading-edge sensor technology and actionable data analysis to deliver the critical products needed to make informed decisions.
