Thermal Camera Guide for Oil and Gas

This comprehensive resource explains the differences between thermal and infrared technologies, when and where to use them, and how cooled and uncooled thermal cameras perform in challenging conditions. It covers essential considerations such as detection versus identification, operational range, cost-effectiveness over time, and the unique benefits thermal cameras bring to perimeter protection, vessel detection, and asset monitoring. The guide also addresses limitations, ensuring you can make informed, cost-efficient choices for your surveillance strategy.

The eBook provides practical insights for operators, security managers, and engineers working across offshore platforms, LNG plants, renewable energy facilities, utility networks, and other hazardous CNI sites. You will learn how to integrate thermal cameras into a unified security and surveillance solution to enhance early threat detection, monitor flares, detect gas leaks, and track equipment performance in low or no light. Real-world examples illustrate how thermal imaging can act as a first line of defence, reducing operational risks and improving incident response.
