About UAV Exploration
Our mission: To be the recognized leader in orphaned and abandoned well locating. Period.
Who We Are
UAV Exploration is more than just another drone survey company—we’re a full-service, comprehensive well-locating provider and the original pioneers of drone-based magnetic surveying for orphaned and abandoned wells.
With over a decade of experience, we’ve been at the forefront of the drone revolution from the start. We were the first to engineer and deploy UAS-mounted magnetometer systems specifically designed for well detection. Our methodologies have helped shape the standards across the well-finding industry.
We’re a dedicated team of UAS pilots, geophysicists, field technicians, and project managers, working together to deliver accurate, verifiable results. From aerial detection to on-the-ground confirmation, we combine innovative technology with practical field expertise to locate wells others often overlook. Every project we take on reflects our commitment to precision, reliability, and doing the job right.
