Oil, gas & industry
The oil and gas sector presents a number of challenges related to cleaning, surface treatment, and inspection, challenges where KTV Working Drone delivers real value.
KTV has been a trusted name in cleaning and surface maintenance since 1992. Our drone technology was developed in Norway between 2015 and 2020, combining decades of industry experience with innovation. Today, KTV Working Drone is represented in 66 countries worldwide.
Cleaning and operating in hazardous environments
Our drone-based cleaning solutions eliminate the need for workers to operate in hazardous environments. This drastically reduces or eliminates the cost and complexity associated with scaffolding and rope access.
With deep expertise in cleaning methods for industrial and offshore environments, we’ve developed sustainable and cost-effective solutions tailored for the oil and gas sector. These facilities consist primarily of metallic structures, which demand careful cleaning to preserve protective coatings and extend lifespan.
The KTV SelfCleaner is a unique, in-house developed cleaning system designed to clean effectively without causing surface damage—ensuring long-term protection of critical assets.
We also offer surface treatment and inspection services using KTV Working Drone
Surface treatment
By 2025, our goal is to enable the drone to carry out surface treatment tasks directly. We are currently working on advanced solutions including spot-repair sandblasting, allowing localized surface preparation for coating repairs.
This innovation is driven by a clear objective: reduce the need for personnel in high-risk environments, while also reducing costs and improving efficiency for our clients.
Inspection
KTV Working Drone offers a full range of inspection capabilities, including high-resolution photography, thermal imaging, and 3D modeling. These inspections can be customized to client requirements and can be combined with cleaning or surface treatment operations for a comprehensive maintenance approach.
The result: faster diagnostics, improved safety, and reduced downtime.
