This would create a framework for addressing unauthorised unmanned aircraft systems operating near fixed-site critical infrastructure.\n\nWe consider the importance of the proposed regulations, the risks drones pose to refinery and petrochemical facilities, and the need for a balanced, risk-based approach that protects security while supporting legitimate drone use and innovation.\nThis episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast is sponsored by Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine.\n \nSherwin-Williams Protective & Marine delivers world-class industry subject matter expertise, unparalleled technical and specification service, and unmatched regional commercial team support to customers around the globe, including in the energy market.
