[NEWS] Protecting Large-Scale Gas and Oil Infrastructure: The Value of EO/IR Based Perimeter Surveillance
- DATE 2026. 02. 06
- VIEWS 22
As energy infrastructure security becomes increasingly intertwined with national security, large-scale gas and oil companies are demanding perimeter surveillance technologies that are both highly precise and exceptionally reliable. In response to this growing need, TBT supports the protection of critical assets for global energy companies through its EO/IR based perimeter surveillance solutions.
Vast Energy Facilities Demand 24/7 Uninterrupted Surveillance
Large-scale energy facilities, including gas fields, refineries, pipeline networks, and storage tank terminals, share common security challenges: expansive coverage areas, complex layouts, and exposure to open and remote environments. Facilities located in harsh conditions such as deserts, coastal regions, or remote areas face even greater challenges, where conventional CCTV systems show clear limitations in detecting intrusions during nighttime, severe weather, or low visibility conditions.
TBT’s EO/IR perimeter surveillance system is specifically designed to overcome these environmental constraints. By integrating electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) sensors, the system enables real-time situational awareness and threat detection regardless of day or night conditions.
EO/IR Technology Optimized for the Energy Sector
TBT’s perimeter surveillance solutions for large scale gas and oil operators are built upon the following core technological strengths:
Long-range intrusion detection capability
- Early detection of personnel, vehicles, and vessels from distances of several kilometers, maximizing response time
Performance in adverse weather and low visibility environments
- Reliable imaging and identification of infrastructure threats and unauthorized access even in smoke, fog, dust, and nighttime conditions
Industrial-grade design for continuous operation
- Stable long-term operation in extreme environments, including high and low temperatures, salt exposure, and sandstorms
Automated tracking and integrated system interoperability
-Automatic target tracking and centralized monitoring through integration with radar and intrusion detection sensors
These capabilities play a critical role in preventing security threats that could escalate into secondary incidents such as gas leaks, fires, or explosions.
Transitioning from Manpower-Based to System-Centric Surveillance
Large energy enterprises are increasingly shifting away from manpower intensive perimeter security toward operations centered on intelligent surveillance systems. TBT’s EO/IR solutions enable fully unmanned, 24/7 monitoring, significantly reducing operational costs while dramatically improving surveillance reliability.
In particular, EO/IR based perimeter surveillance has become a de facto essential infrastructure for areas where permanent personnel deployment is impractical, such as outer fence lines, pipeline routes, and remote storage facilities.
Supporting ESG and Safety Strategies in the Energy Industry
Global gas and oil companies are increasingly adopting ESG management and enhanced safety as core strategic priorities. TBT’s EO/IR perimeter surveillance solutions go beyond conventional security, contributing to accident prevention, environmental protection, and operational stability, key pillars of ESG performance.
A Trusted Partner for Global Energy Infrastructure Protection
Leveraging its EO/IR expertise, TBT delivers customized perimeter surveillance solutions tailored to the operational environments and security requirements of large-scale gas and oil companies. Through close collaboration across the entire lifecycle, from system design and site analysis to integration and long-term operational support, TBT positions itself as a trusted technology partner dedicated to protecting its customers’ most critical assets.
