Oil & Gas & Industrial Drone Services in Alberta

Aerial photography and video of wellsites, pipelines, facilities, construction, and field operations across Alberta. Shot in 6K and framed like a film, not a survey, by a working Director of Photography. Transport Canada Basic RPAS certified.

Energy and industry, framed like a film

Wellsites in the foothills, pipeline rights-of-way, remote pads a helicopter would charge a fortune to reach: drone coverage is the practical way to document energy and industrial operations in Alberta. I shoot facilities, field operations, and crews at work.

Comfortable on live sites, briefed and escorted, with every flight planned and legal. Because I am a DP, the footage is framed and graded for marketing and stakeholder use, not just a technical record.

Facilities & wellsites

Wellsites, pads, and facilities documented from the air for marketing, planning, and stakeholder updates.

02

Pipelines & rights-of-way

Top-down and tracking coverage of pipeline corridors, construction, and remote infrastructure across Alberta.

03

Safety, recruitment & investor

Films and stills for safety, recruitment, and investor content that show the operation at its best.

CH 01 — The Work

Aerials for energy and industrial operations

Project documentation, safety and recruitment films, investor and stakeholder content, or top-down detail of equipment in operation. I have shot field operations and facilities across Alberta, including work for United Pacific Projects near Sundre.

Construction and industrial sites fold in here too: progress capture, site overviews, and infrastructure documentation, framed the same way each visit so the sequence cuts together over time.

Safe, briefed, and legal

I am comfortable working on live industrial sites: briefed into the safety plan, escorted where required, and coordinated with the crews on the ground. Every flight is planned around the site, the airspace, and the weather before wheels-up.

A Transport Canada Basic RPAS certificate and ten-plus years of flying mean professional, low-risk aerial work for the location and infrastructure shooting most operations need, across Calgary and all of Alberta.

FAQ — Oil, gas & industrial aerials

Common questions

Do you shoot oil and gas and industrial sites from the air?

Yes. Wellsites, pads, facilities, pipeline rights-of-way, and field operations are a core aerial specialty across Alberta, shot for marketing, recruitment, investor, and stakeholder use, and framed like a film rather than a survey.

Are you comfortable and safe working on live industrial sites?

Yes. I work briefed into the site safety plan, escorted where required, and coordinated with the ground crew. Every flight is planned around the site, airspace, and weather, and flown under a Transport Canada Basic RPAS certificate.

Can you capture construction and infrastructure progress?

Yes. I shoot repeatable progress aerials of sites and phases, framed the same way each visit so the sequence cuts together over time, plus site overviews and top-down infrastructure detail.

Are you a certified drone pilot, and how long have you been flying?

I hold a Transport Canada Basic RPAS certification and have flown professionally for more than ten years. Every flight is planned, legal, and shot by a working Director of Photography, not a hobbyist.
