Oil and gas
There’s no better way to secure upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas activities – from drilling rigs and wells, to tank farms and processing plants through pipelines, and refineries – than with intelligent Axis solutions.
Enhancing safety, security, and efficiency
In the oil and gas industry, where extreme weather conditions, hazardous working environments and remote and unmanned locations are commonplace, you need the support of a reliable video monitoring system to maintain situational awareness. Axis intelligent solutions help keep your workforce safe, your productivity high and your sites and its assets secure.
By remotely monitoring both manned and unmanned sites with Axis solutions you not only minimize costly downtime and the costs of physical patrols, but you also mitigate the risk of leaks that could become a threat to both your workforce and the environment.
Focus areas
Upstream
Enhance physical security and safety in upstream operations with real-time surveillance. Facilitating remote monitoring, network cameras can enable continuous oversight, immediate detection and rapid incident management in isolated or hazardous areas.
Midstream
Manage storage and transportation challenges in midstream operations ensuring the health and safety of staff and the environment. Around the clock monitoring with network cameras offers actionable insights and alerts of leaks, spills, or unauthorized access.
Downstream
Boost your operations and better protect the health and safety of staff and the environment in downstream operations. Ensuring adherence to safety protocols and monitoring processes and equipment allow for timely maintenance and avoidance of hazardous situations or incidents.

Solutions for hazardous areas
Many oil and gas sites have areas classified as hazardous, where flammable material, like gas, may be present. These areas benefit from certified devices for optimizing safety and efficiency of production.
Cybersecurity in oil and gas
Cybersecurity is crucial in oil and gas operations to avoid disrupted operations and environmental disasters. Strong security measures also prevent data breaches, safeguarding sensitive information like drilling plans and pipeline controls. Without proper protection, cyberattacks can lead to financial losses, safety hazards, and even national security threats. We want to make it easier for you to put safeguards in place, so you can use our offerings in as secure a manner as possible, and we strongly believe that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
