Researchers at Centre for Integrated Petroleum Research (CIPR), a joint venture between the University of Bergen (UiB) and Uni Research, have found a new method – using drones to map new oil reserves from the air.

“In reality, the drones can be viewed as an advanced camera tripod, which helps geologists map inaccessible land in an efficient manner. The use of drones facilitates efforts to define the geology and to find oil,” says researcher Aleksandra Sima at CIPR about the drone that she and her fellow researchers have just acquired to take aerial shots of rocks.
