How Does Asset Tracking in the Oil and Gas Industry Improve Safety and Streamline Operations?
Read moreOil and Gas Asset Management Software
Enterprises in the oil and gas industry regularly encounter asset and staff management challenges. Lack of necessary safety measures, working with heavy equipment, unauthorized access to restricted areas, and errors associated with human factors often lead to decreased safety and productivity. However, global oil production and consumption continue to grow unabated. In 2022, world liquid fuel production stood at 99.99 million barrels per day, and by 2025, according to forecasts, these figures are expected to increase to 104.17 million barrels per day. With the rapid increase in production, improving the efficiency and safety of enterprise operations becomes especially important.
Navigine is ready to assist with maintaining security, equipment, and staff tracking. We offer oil and gas asset management software that enhances operational efficiency, leading to a decrease in incidents and improved resource allocation within this rapidly changing industry.

Security Management
Tracking oil and gas equipment and personnel helps prevent accidents. It enables monitoring compliance with safety protocols, establishing routes for equipment movement, and preventing collisions or vehicle-pedestrian accidents. In addition to tracking in regular premises, employees can be monitored in high-risk environments such as mines, tunnels, and others. The system allows for prompt response to any emergencies, timely detection of individuals in emergency zones, and providing necessary assistance.
Features:
- Notifications of collision risks.
- Positioning of moving vehicles on a digital map.
- Integration of SOS buttons.
- Integration with alert systems and video surveillance to enhance security levels.
- Evacuation management, assisting personnel in finding entrances/exits during emergencies.
Expected benefits:
-
Minimization of emergencies.
-
Immediate response to safety protocol breaches.
-
Real-time emergency response.
-
Reduction of expenses related to accidents at enterprises.
Asset Tracking and Monitoring of Staff Movement by Zones
Tracking software can also monitor the movement of assets and staff within designated zones. The system operates based on geofencing technology, dividing the area into zones and granting employees specific access rights to particular areas. Once an object crosses the boundaries of a zone, the system promptly triggers various actions – such as audible alerts, notification broadcasts, and more. This allows for controlling entries/exits into hazardous zones, tracking the duration of time spent within them, and preventing unauthorized access.
Features:
- Search for equipment, tools, and other items by zone.
- Access control to specific areas.
- Broadcasting alerts for entering a hazardous zone, prolonged stay within it, etc.
- Monitoring staff working hours.
Expected benefits:
-
Ensuring personal safety.
