Oil & Gas Drone Day 2026

What to Expect

Join Flyability and MFE for three days of learning, networking, and flying! Our team will be in Houston to showcase the Elios 3 and its latest payloads. The goal of Oil & Gas Drone Days is to expand your knowledge of Flyability and what the Elios 3 is capable of. We want to bring together people from across the industry, from upstream to offshore, downstream to innovation teams. Hear from the Flyability team about upcoming releases, the latest product offerings, and software. Learn about real-world experiences from our customers and connect with colleagues to discuss the future of drones in the industry.
