Benefits of Oilfield CCTV Video Monitoring Systems

Oilfield operations present unique challenges to communication and management.  Remote locations and hazardous conditions make it difficult to quickly and effectively manage these important assets, especially when problems arise.  The adoption of video technology has made it possible for us to place camera equipment in places never before thought possible, thus bringing new choices for oilfield rig, marine or facilities management.

The “real time” information provided by a CCTV video monitoring system offers numerous benefits including:

1. Safety enhancements – Video cameras placed in the most critical parts of the rig allow managers to ensure that proper safety precautions are being taken at all times
2. Increased Profitability – “Real time” CCTV video feeds allow remote engineers and managers to view on site rig activities and offer support or guidance in the event of a problem.   Faster resolution to down times and other costly problems combined with improvements in safety ultimately lead to increased profitability.
3. Training – There is no better training device than actual footage of what takes place in a live oilfield environment.  Review of on-site video footage benefits both new hires as well as seasoned employees in need to advanced training.
4. Enhanced Record Keeping – Oilfield operations benefit from increased transparency and accountability.  Video monitoring allows managers and engineers to make precise records for everything from technical equipment data to employee actions and procedures.
5. Additional security – Remote cameras help deter theft and trespassing by monitoring your rig to ensure that only authorized personnel are on site.

Secure, high definition video feeds allow managers and executives to monitor the activity on an oil rig from the convenience of a computer anywhere in the world.  These cameras are placed in the most critical areas of the rig such as the monkey board, shaker pits and crown, essentially turning your remote rig into an extension of your office!
