Oil & Gas

ConductVision watches pump jacks, tank batteries and truck loading racks from fixed cameras and logs crews, hard hats, trucks and smoke for oil and gas field teams.

Oil and gas operations span remote wellheads, offshore platforms, pipelines, and processing facilities where environmental conditions are harsh and personnel access is limited. Equipment failures, leaks, and safety violations in these environments carry severe consequences, yet many sites rely on periodic manual inspections supplemented by sensor-based alarms. ConductVision's technology can add a continuous visual monitoring layer to existing camera infrastructure across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Real-time anomaly detection, PPE verification, and zone monitoring can reduce risk exposure while creating auditable safety records.

Outcomes

What your team gets

Hard hats on every pad visit

Crews rotate through remote pads, and the safety lead sees each one only on a scheduled visit.

Hard hats that come off between visits leave no record for coaching.

How
ConductVision checks each person on the pad for a hard hat from their first to their last frame in view.
You get
A hard-hat rate per pad, shift and week, with a still of each gap.

Truck waits at the loading rack

Haulers queue at tank batteries and loading racks, and no one records how long each truck waits.

Long waits stretch each hauler's day and keep idling trucks parked beside the tanks.

How
ConductVision detects each truck in the rack view and times its stay from arrival to departure.
You get
Truck counts and wait times per rack by hour, showing when to stagger pickups.

Smoke at unstaffed sites

Tank batteries and pads often run with no one on site, and a fire may first be reported by a passing driver.

Minutes lost before the first call give a small fire time to reach tanks and lines.

How
In a pilot, ConductVision detects smoke and open flame in each camera view and raises an alert with a still.
You get
A timed alert for each event, plus a log of smoke events per site for the safety review.

Gauge readings between rounds

Operators drive out to read pressure gauges and tank level dials on their rounds.

A pressure that drifts between rounds shows up only when someone next reads the dial.

How
In a pilot, ConductVision reads analog dials from fixed cameras at a set interval and records each value.
You get
A timed reading history for each gauge, with a still of every reading.

The challenge

Remote and hazardous site conditions make continuous human monitoring impractical. Pipeline corridors span hundreds of miles with limited inspection frequency. Offshore platforms operate in environments where PPE non-compliance and restricted zone breaches carry life-threatening consequences, yet manual observation covers only a fraction of operational hours.

Our approach

ConductVision can process feeds from fixed, PTZ, and drone-mounted cameras to detect visual leak indicators, equipment anomalies, PPE violations, and unauthorized zone entries. Alerts can reach operations centers in real time regardless of site remoteness, and inspection imagery can be archived for regulatory reporting.

Endpoints

What a pilot measures

Each endpoint is defined before the pilot starts, with what is counted, its unit and how the results are broken down.

How we check the model

Each pilot measures ConductVision on your own footage against a sample checked by hand, before anyone relies on its numbers.

  • Hard-hat alert precision

    Share of missing-hard-hat alerts that a reviewer confirms in a hand-checked sample of stills.

    % · by camera, distance to camera

  • Gauge reading error

    Difference between the ConductVision reading and a reviewer's reading of the same dial on sampled stills.

    gauge units (mean absolute difference) · by gauge, light conditions

  • False smoke alerts

    Smoke alerts a reviewer rejects, such as dust, steam or flare glare, per camera per day.

Use cases

Where teams put it to work

Visual Leak Indicator Detection

Cameras can monitor pipeline junctions, valve assemblies, and storage tanks for visible vapor plumes, liquid pooling, and discoloration patterns. Detections can be classified by severity and forwarded to operations for immediate response.

PPE Compliance in Hazardous Zones

Detection models can verify flame-resistant clothing, hard hats, safety glasses, and gas monitors on personnel entering classified zones. Non-compliance events can be logged with visual evidence and escalated to site safety coordinators.

Restricted Zone Enforcement

Virtual perimeters around active wellheads, pressurized systems, and hazardous material storage areas can alert when unauthorized personnel enter. Entry logs can be maintained automatically for shift-level safety reporting.

Flare Stack and Emissions Monitoring

Cameras can analyze flare stack combustion characteristics including flame color, intensity, and smoke opacity. Deviations from normal combustion patterns can trigger alerts that may indicate process upsets or incomplete combustion.

Pipeline Right-of-Way Surveillance

Aerial and fixed camera imagery can monitor pipeline corridors for third-party encroachment, vegetation overgrowth, and surface disturbances that may indicate subsurface issues. Anomalies can be geotagged and prioritized for field investigation.
