FLIR SOLUTIONS FOR OIL & GAS

Oil and Gas producers have to take on a range of responsibilities, from detecting leaks to meeting environmental regulations, maintaining site security and system integrity. How companies address these issues often depends upon whether they are upstream, midstream, or downstream producers.

Read on to learn about Oil and Gas applications and the FLIR products that can help inspectors, managers, and technicians solve problems quickly and avoid expensive shutdowns.

Cutting Costs, Product Loss, and Downtime

FLIR optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras are used throughout the Oil and Gas industry to detect methane and other hydrocarbon emissions from the extraction, transmission, and processing of petroleum and natural gas. These cameras visualize hundreds of invisible gases, allowing inspectors, engineers, and maintenance crews to identify leaks safely without having to shut down critical systems.

Inspect Safely in Explosive Environments

The FLIR Cx5 is certified for use in many explosive environments, so you no longer have to acquire hot work permits due to gas, vapor, and dust. With the Cx5, T-Class surveys can be quick and easy. Featuring FLIR MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) and 1-Touch Level/Span, the Cx5 can help you identify potential problems quickly to improve plant performance. Built-in FLIR Ignite™ cloud service allows you to directly transfer, store, and backup images, so they're always accessible when you need them.
