Oil Exploration Hovercraft

With the worlds resources becoming ever more scarce the search for oil and gas reserves are leading exploration companies into ever more remote and difficult terrains.

At the forefront of helping these companies is the Hov Pod, an easy to transport small search hovercraft that copes with a wide range of terrains, not possible with other forms of transport.

As the leading supplier of hovercraft to petrochemical and oil exploration companies the Hov Pod is ideal for this critical job.

With craft in use in places such Africa, Middle East, Russia, Kazakhstan and South East Asia the craft has been faced with a wide range of conditions.

The craft is highly durable and able to meet the demands of these terrains yet very easy to drive, operate and service.


Pipeline inspection by Hovercraft

Hovercraft can reach a wide range of different terrain, from shallow water, land, mud, sand, ice and snow. Oil Exploration companies find hovercraft particularly useful to deploy as safety boats in areas where conventional boats cannot operate. Hovercraft have no propeller to get damaged on underwater obstructions.

The Hov Pod SPX is available with 120HP Turbo charged 4 stroke Weber engine, and can transport 3 operatives at speeds up to 45 mph.

Oil Exploration Safety Boats

Oil exploration companies are using mini hovercraft to reach new oil well test drilling sites. Not only are hovercraft able to reach areas out of bounds to more conventional all terrain vehicles, these mini hovercraft also prove very useful as safety boats, especially in areas where you have shallow water, mud, ice, sand etc.

Oil Exploration - shallow water

Hovercraft manufacturer, Reaction International Ltd report an upsurge in interest from companies involved in oil exploration. Many new well sites are located in areas difficult to reach by conventional craft.

Hovercraft do not suffer the restriction associated in other vehicles, for example, they have no propeller to get snagged on underwater debris in shallow water areas. Hovercraft make great safety boats in areas where you get mud, sand, ice, shallow or fast running waters.

Hovercraft used for Oil Exploration

Hovercraft manufacturer, Reaction International Ltd reports an upsurge in interest from oil companies exploring for oil and gas reserves in shallow water areas.

Their hovercraft seats three adults and can traverse over any flat terrain, so is really useful reaching exploration sites in areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles. With no propeller to get damaged, hovercraft have no problem in shallow water areas, and ofcourse are happy to fly over mud, sand, ice, snow, indeed any flat surface at speeds up to 40 mph.
