位于LIVINGSTON，苏格兰的Cyberhawk Innovations公司，是一家在使用无人机进行空中检查方面的引领者，它刚刚在卡塔尔完成了有史以来的首次商业石油和天然气的检查作业。
在整个卡塔尔市场，这提供了Cyberhawk无人机检查服务带来的重大成本效益的范例，而在这段时间里石油和天然气的预算面临显著的压力。
曾经进行过136米高废气燃烧器的检查，仍然在运作中的这个项目于2016年的三月份在陆上石油和天然气炼厂建成。来自Cyberhawk经验丰富的一支队伍中的两名成员利用Cyberhawk最先进的无人机开展了检查工作，其中包括一名业内合格的检验工程师，和一名油气行业合格的检验飞行员。
由于对空域安全和公民隐私的担忧，迄今为止一直由卡塔尔政府严格管制无人驾驶飞机。而这次检查标志着无人机在区域商业用途方面向前迈进了一大步。
Cyberhawk开展了大量的活动，对政府进行游说并向其表达了无人机所能带来的的福利利益，包括成本费用和时间方面的节省，以及这些无人机能安全地通过有经验的操作人员进行操作。
在综合评价了Cyberhawk的业绩记录和在中东成熟的案例研究史后，政府当局小组授予了Cyberhawk在卡塔尔进行作业的独家许可证。
该项目还继续打造Cyberhawk在中东日益增长的客户群，在中东它自从2012年已经开始商业化运营。该公司在沙特阿拉伯、阿布扎比、迪拜和阿曼公司已经检测了75个多的废气燃烧器等其他油气构造。
“继该项目的顺利完成，我们预计在该区域中将会有更多的机会，并且我们将继续支持和建议当局以拓宽商业无人机使用的范围，”业务发展经理Ajay Sethi，Cyberhawk的阿布扎比办公室负责人表示说。

LIVINGSTON, Scotland — Cyberhawk Innovations, a leader in aerial inspection and survey using unmanned aerial vehicles, has completed the first ever commercial oil and gas inspection in Qatar.
This allows the significant cost benefits of Cyberhawk’s drone inspection service to be provided throughout the Qatari market, during a time in which oil and gas budgets are facing significant pressure.
The project, which saw the inspection of 136-m high flares, while still operational, was completed at an onshore oil and gas refinery in March 2016. An experienced team of two from Cyberhawk, including an industry qualified inspection engineer and oil and gas qualified inspection pilot, undertook the work using Cyberhawk’s state-of-the-art inspection UAVs.
This inspection marks a major step forward in the commercial use of drones in the region, which to date have been heavily regulated by the Qatari government due to concerns over security of airspace and privacy of citizens.
Cyberhawk undertook an intensive campaign, lobbying the government to explain the benefits on offer through UAVs, including significant cost and time savings, and how safely these unmanned aircraft can be operated by experienced operators.
After a thorough assessment of Cyberhawk’s track record and proven case study history in the Middle East, a panel of authorities granted an exclusive permit for Cyberhawk to conduct the work in Qatar.
This project also continues to build Cyberhawk’s growing client base in the Middle East, where it have been commercially operating since 2012. The company has already inspected more than 75 live flares and other oil and gas structures in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Oman.
“Following the successful completion of this project, we anticipate further opportunities will be created in the region, and will continue to support and advise authorities to help extend the boundaries of commercial drone usage,” Business Development Manager Ajay Sethi, who is based in Cyberhawk’s Abu Dhabi office, said.
