Oil and gas platform Surveillance
Increase the security of your installations with panoramic infrared cameras
In a world where the security of energy infrastructures is more critical than ever, monitoring oil and gas platforms is an absolute priority. The complexity of threats, ranging from physical intrusions to cyber attacks, demands a sophisticated, robust and foolproof surveillance solution.
The stakes are enormous including staff safety, environmental protection, securing vital assets.
Oil & Gas Security: Main Challenges
Long-distance detection
Isolated sites such as FPSO, FLNG, offshore rigs, gas, compressor stations require long distance detection and classification, to face threats taking many forms: vehicles, pedestrians and swimmers, RHIBS and other small boats, hardly detectable by radars. They need a solution able to detect, track and record all unwanted events on a 360° panorama, in real-time.
Perimeter surveillance of onshore sites
A secure perimeter, around a critical infrastructure, established by constant surveillance, is essential to detect and track threats before, during and after intrusion.
Oil & Gas rigs protection
Oil and gas rigs constitute a preferred target for terrorist and criminal activity because of their economic importance and the difficulty to secure large water areas and open areas on land. Offshore rigs require maximum security due to their volatile and demanding environments. Protecting them from threats and ensuring safe operation are equally important.
Situational awareness around Oil & Gas assets
Oil and gas plants tend to be extremely large, including petrochemical sites, oil terminals, onshore refineries pipelines spanning over long distances, offshore platform with satellite unmanned platforms and gas compressor stations making their protection extremely challenging. The major challenge is to identify as early as possible the detected targets as malicious assailants: it helps for an accelerated decision-making to face an unwanted critical situation.
Oil & Gas Security: Main Threats
Maritime Intrusions / Piracy
Offshore platforms are particularly vulnerable to unauthorised boarding, whether by environmental activists, pirates, disrupters seeking to damage equipment. Detection systems must be able to distinguish small boats and swimmers from debris or marine animals.
Terrorist attacks
Oil and gas sites are prime targets for terrorist attacks, due to their importance to the national economy and the potential impact of an explosion or hostage-taking. Surveillance must be able to detect and classify unusual threats, such as boats travelling at abnormal speeds or suspicious movements around an onshore sites.
Drones
Drones can be used for espionage activities, sabotage attempts or even direct attacks. Anti-drone systems, which can detect, identify and neutralize these threats, are a crucial component of security.
