Plex-Earth in the Oil and Gas Industries:
When it’s too remote, too hot or too cold to want to go there, you can still see the area up-close, using our updated and high-res’ satellite and aerial imagery – from inside AutoCAD!
Better than a site visit, as you can explore and see all the 3D terrain from any angle you like, as mesh or contours (including surface profiles or import your own GeoTIFF files)
Sure you’ve settled on the right spot or pipe route? Now you can be absolutely certain, by easily booking a custom drone flight, anywhere on Earth, down to an incredible 5cm/pixel accuracy! Yes, from inside AutoCAD; just drag your mouse over the area and local licensed drone pilots will give you a quote!
Many projects around the world start with Plex-Earth, to help determine where that project will even be located. In the oil and gas industries you're already deeply (sorry!) committed to your project's location. We get that, but if anything that makes our powerful visualisation and data platform even more useful.
