How a Gulf Coast Refinery is Rethinking Inspection and Incident Response with Docked Drones

October 2, 2026 · 29 min

Tank farms present a constant need for inspection coverage, rapid verification, and safer response when anomalies occur. Autonomous drones are giving operators a way to improve visibility across these environments while reducing the need for manual checks in time-sensitive situations. In this NestGen session, Bronto will share how autonomous drones support tank farm inspection and rapid event response at a Gulf Coast refinery, and what oil and gas teams should think through when deploying similar models across storage and terminal operations.
