Oil field operators scaling across Vaca Muerta, one of the world's largest shale formations, need a way to extend safety and security monitoring, from methane detection to intrusion response, across a rapidly growing footprint without adding headcount at every well pad. In this NestGen session, 3K SAS will share how they built Argentina's largest oilfield drone program across Vaca Muerta, connecting real-time methane and intrusion detection through autonomous docks, and what energy teams should think through when scaling similar programs across expanding oil field operations.
