Keeping offshore and onshore oil and gas installations safe in the oil & gas industry must be a constant priority. As the raw materials are processed at these sites, they are usually highly flammable and explosive. That’s why experts recommend deploying explosion-proof video camera systems to monitor, inspect, and evaluate safety in such industries.

With explosion-proof cameras, these industries can get a huge return on investment and boost productivity significantly. This blog digs a little deeper to understand how explosion-proof cameras provide value and what are the different ranges available for the oil and gas industry.

‍The oil and gas production chain goes from offshore exploration and drilling platforms to onshore oil wells, from pipelines to refineries. These sites are generally located in remote, inaccessible areas on land or in the open sea and often face bad environmental conditions.

Given the high-risk environment, this industry faces a lot of challenges while ensuring the protection of personnel and infrastructure. This is why oil rig cameras can help your industry overcome a variety of different challenges, such as

  • Extreme temperatures 
  • Risk of combustible dust
  • Risk for gas leaks
  • Low lighting in surveillance areas and more

Electrified or mechanical equipment installed in an explosion-prone area meet strict design parameters, pass stringent compliance testing, and receive certification from accredited certification agencies. This strict procedure ensures the safety and reliability of the cameras. 

‍Uses of Explosion-Proof Cameras in Oil & Gas Industry

‍An explosion-proof camera is the ideal surveillance solution for the oil and gas industry. They are designed to resist harsh weather conditions, humidity, water, and most importantly, explosive materials. Thus, it becomes easier for the operators to monitor the worksite and intercept risks, malfunctions, accidents, suspicious activities, and thefts in a timely manner. 

Explosion-proof cameras can protect your employees from any disaster or accident beforehand and also provide real-time support. With a constant live feed, a surveillance manager can monitor your employees and workplace. It is easy to install them anywhere on the worksite, like on the rig floor, monkey board, driller console, and sub-base rigs.
