Oil and gas extraction sites—including drilling rigs, pump stations, storage tanks, refineries, and remote wellheads—operate in highly flammable, hazardous, and complex environments. Fire, smoke, gas leaks, equipment failures, and unauthorized access pose serious safety risks.
Fuwee’s AI-powered visual detection system provides real-time safety monitoring for upstream and midstream operations. Our algorithms detect fire, smoke, PPE violations, and abnormal events instantly, helping energy operators reduce risks, prevent shutdowns, and ensure continuous, safe production.
✅ Key Safety Challenges in Oil & Gas Fields
-
High fire and explosion risks
-
Early smoke events from pipelines, valves, or equipment
-
Unauthorized personnel entering hazardous zones
-
Lack of PPE compliance (helmets, flame-resistant clothing)
-
Nighttime visibility issues in remote well sites
-
Heavy machinery operations (cranes, trucks, drill rigs)
-
Environmental risks such as leaks or spills
-
Difficulty monitoring large, remote outdoor areas
