In this post, we’ll explore how drones are transforming the way offshore energy and oil & gas projects are photographed and filmed, and why PB Aerial Imaging, with its eight years of experience in offshore environments, is the industry leader in this space.

5 Onshore Wind Farms, 4 Offshore Wind Farms, 5 different countries, 3.7Tb of data, over 124,000 images, 720 Videos and finally over 5500 miles driven.

From the North of Scotland to the South Coast of England. We filmed and documented the Maritime Coastguard Agencies latest counter pollution exercise. This multi day multi agency training exercise saw Sea, Land and Airbourne assets deployed just outside Portland Harbour and on Weymouth beach.

Nexans Aurora starting the cable laying task for the Moray West Project. Captured at sunrise Sunday 12th November. The offshore cable run is over 65km with another 31km onshore connecting the windfarm to the national grid at the blackhillock substation.

The beginning of October saw the largest deployment of multi agency marine assets and personnel from a variety of organisations in Scotland this year. Organised and lead by the Maritime Coastguard Agency this Counter Pollution Exercise took place over 3 days 2 miles offshore outside the Port of Aberdeen. I was lucky enough to to be contracted to capture the exercise by both drone and ground camera. The professionalism and seamanship of all participants was a delight to watch as was the Airmanship from RVL Aviation, who flew at 20 feet above the sea on their dispersal runs.
