Fire Prevention Across All Stages of Oil & Gas Production
Early Fire Detection
Oil & Gas Industry
Safe and Seamless Operations
Oil and Gas operations carry significant fire risks at every stage, from exploration and extraction to refining and transporting. Refineries, in particular, face an acute threate of fire or explosion caused by equipment failure, putting both employees and the surrounding community at risk.
To stay ahead of these dangers, the industry must equip refineries, storage facilities, and pipelines with advanced tools that detect potential hazards before they escalate. Proactive monitoring with tools such as gas leak detectors and continuous monitoring thermal cameras will not only safeguard workers and assets but also prevents costly shutdowns—all while ensuring compliance with stringent safety regulations.
Preventing Refinery Fires
Damaged electrical systems, worn belts, and failing machinery can all result in hot spots that, under the right conditions, lead to fire. Add in the potential for methane or other gas leaks, and you have explosive conditions.
Flir fixed thermal cameras and optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras provide the early insights needed for smarter prevention. Continuous thermal monitoring catches hot spots before they break into fires while fixed or pan-tilt OGI cameras focus on finding gas leaks.
Protecting Storage with Intelligence
Every gas storage tank tells a story.
Whether there is corrosion and leaking near tank walls, flammable gas build-up near vents, or overfilling, a thermal monitoring system can detect problems you can't see during visible inspections. When combined with a Video Monitoring System with alarm capabilities, sites can avoid issues before they turn into costly incidents or downtime.
Safer Pipelines with Heat and Leak Detection
Natural gas pipelines can be a major source of fires, representing miles of infrastructure that needs to be inspected, repaired, or upgraded regularly. Oil & Gas companies rely on Flir technology to detect methane leaks during pipeline inspections and to monitor these lines for potential heat risks, keeping their employees and the environment safe.
