As oilfield operations involve high temperatures, flammable materials, complex equipment, and large-scale production environments, safety management has always been a top priority.
To address the increasing demands for intelligent safety supervision, the oilfield introduced the Fuwei AI Detection System to enhance real-time monitoring, reduce operational risks, and improve the overall safety level of the site.
Project Objectives
The project aimed to build an integrated intelligent monitoring solution capable of identifying key safety risks in oilfield environments.
The system needed to:
-
Detect early-stage fire and smoke signals
-
Monitor personnel behavior and safety compliance
-
Prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas
-
Improve emergency response capabilities
AI Functions Implemented
Fire & Smoke Detection
Using high-precision cameras and AI video analysis, the system identifies smoke plumes, flame patterns, and other early fire indicators. Once a threat is detected, an immediate alert is issued to prevent fire spread.
Safety Helmet Detection
The system continuously monitors whether workers are wearing safety helmets in hazardous zones. Non-compliance triggers real-time alarms and helps enforce safety protocols.
Workwear Detection
By detecting whether personnel are wearing proper protective clothing, the system ensures operational compliance and reduces risks posed by improper attire.
Smoking Detection
Oilfields are highly sensitive to ignition sources. The AI detects smoking behavior in prohibited areas and alerts safety personnel instantly to eliminate fire hazards.
Personnel Intrusion Detection
The system identifies unauthorized individuals entering restricted or hazardous areas, preventing accidents, sabotage, or operational disruptions.
Vehicle Intrusion Detection
By monitoring vehicle movement and analyzing behavior patterns, the system ensures that only authorized vehicles enter key production zones.
Project Results & Impact
Since deployment, the Fuwei AI Detection System has brought significant improvements in safety management:
-
Early fire warnings have drastically reduced fire-related risks
-
Safety violations such as not wearing helmets or smoking have dropped sharply
-
Unauthorized access incidents have been effectively controlled
-
Automated intelligent monitoring has reduced manual inspection workload
-
Real-time data insights have improved operational decision-making
The system has strengthened the oilfield’s overall safety and operational efficiency while reducing potential losses caused by human error or safety negligence.
Future Outlook
Moving forward, the oilfield plans to expand the use of AI analytics, integrating more advanced functions such as equipment anomaly detection, pipeline leak monitoring, and predictive maintenance.
With continuous upgrades, the Fuwei AI Detection System will provide even more comprehensive, automated, and intelligent safety assurance for oilfield operations.
