Cyberhawk Innovations, an aerial inspection and survey provider, is set to establish a Houston office.
The new office comes as a result of increasing demand from existing oil and gas customers who recognize the significant cost and time savings on offer from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection. Cyberhawk has already undertaken oil and gas inspection work in North America, for operators in Canada, and has a number of projects lined up with oil and gas supermajors in the US over the coming months.
The new Houston office will focus predominantly on the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry.
The launch follows Cyberhawk’s recent funding injection from Clydesdale Bank, which not only supports international growth plans but also the continued development of Cyberhawk’s work in asset management software.
Cyberhawk’s operations director, Chris Fleming, has spent the last three months in the US undertaking market research and will relocate to Houston permanently, to become general manager for America. The coming months will see Cyberhawk increase staff numbers in the region through a combination of recruitment and mobilisation of UK-based personnel.
Headquartered in Livingston, Scotland, Cyberhawk adds the new Houston base to its existing international offices in the Middle East and SE Asia. The company carried out the very first ROAV industrial inspection in 2009 and since then, has completed more than 25 world firsts to date, with blue-chip customers in more than 20 countries on four continents.
Cyberhawk is exhibiting at OTC this week on stand 2063/04, Scottish Pavilion stand number 11.
