Colorado's Trusted Aerial Partner for Oil & Gas Operations

Drone-Powered Inspections, Mapping, and Compliance Solutions in Colorado

Colorado’s oil & gas industry operates in challenging terrain, extreme weather conditions, and environmentally regulated zones, making efficient monitoring and compliance a top priority. Traditional inspection methods are costly, time-intensive, and often put workers at risk.

At RidgeIQ, we provide advanced drone solutions tailored for Colorado’s oil & gas companies, helping you enhance safety, reduce costs, and ensure regulatory compliance. Our fleet of UAVs delivers high-resolution imaging, methane detection, thermal scanning, and survey-grade mapping for pipelines, refineries, well sites, and infrastructure projects.

Pipeline Monitoring & Leak Detection

  • Real-time methane detection using OGI and laser-based sensors

  • Thermal imaging & aerial surveys to detect corrosion, erosion, and stress fractures

  • Regulatory compliance support aligned with Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and EPA standards

  • Predictive maintenance data to prevent costly repairs and unplanned shutdowns

Site Planning & Development

For new infrastructure projects across Colorado’s diverse landscapes, accurate site data is key for effective planning and compliance. Our drone solutions include:

  • High-resolution orthomosaic maps for well pad, facility, and pipeline site selection

  • LiDAR & topographic mapping for elevation modeling and terrain analysis

  • Environmental impact assessments to comply with state and federal land regulations

  • 3D modeling & volumetric analysis for infrastructure planning and earthworks management

Infrastructure Management & Inspections

Colorado’s oil & gas facilities require proactive asset monitoring to maintain safety and operational efficiency. Our drone services help you:

  • Inspect refineries, storage tanks, and processing plants remotely

  • Use thermal imaging to detect heat anomalies & structural weaknesses

  • Leverage AI-powered analytics for predictive maintenance & risk assessments

  • Ensure compliance with OSHA, COGCC, and industry safety regulations

Environmental Compliance & Risk Assessment
