AI Site Intelligence for Oil and Gas

Oil and gas operations are spread out, remote, and full of high value assets. Wells, tank farms, pipelines, and compressor stations are hard to staff and hard to see. Argos from VigilanteX gives you a mobile, AI powered way to watch these sites in real time. You get 24/7 video coverage, off grid power, and smart detection that follows risk as it moves across your field and midstream assets.

What is Argos for oil and gas?

Argos is a rugged, solar powered AI security trailer that is built for oil and gas sites. It delivers continuous video, AI based detection, and secure cloud recording at remote wells, pipeline segments, storage yards, and other critical infrastructure locations. You can deploy it quickly, move it when you need to, and keep visibility on assets that are hard to patrol.

What problems does Argos solve for oil and gas operators?

Argos helps you see and respond to activity on remote and lightly staffed sites. It helps deter theft of equipment and materials. It captures video of unauthorized access, tampering, or vandalism. It also gives you a time stamped visual record that supports safety programs, environmental responsibility, and regulatory reviews.

Argos is used at well pads, compressor stations, tank farms, metering stations, storage yards, and field offices. It also supports temporary projects such as tie ins, maintenance outages, and construction stages along pipeline rights of way. If you have assets that are remote, exposed, or difficult to wire, Argos is a strong fit.

Argos is designed to run off grid. It uses solar power with battery backup for continuous operation. It also supports satellite connectivity in addition to cellular. That means you can monitor sites that do not have utility power or wired networks and still see live and recorded video from your control room or office.

Argos provides visual evidence of what is happening at the site. It can show who accessed the area, how contractors worked, and what hazards were present. That helps you investigate incidents, support process safety, and show regulators and insurers that you are actively managing physical risk on your assets.

Yes. One unit can often cover a smaller site such as a single well pad or compact station. For larger sites you can deploy multiple Argos units or combine Argos with LunaVue satellite cameras to extend coverage into blind spots, alleys, and back corners without trenching.

Meet Argos: Mobile AI surveillance for remote energy sites

Argos is built to live where your crews work. It is trailer mounted, weather resistant, and engineered for long term use in harsh conditions. You bring it to the field, raise the mast, and immediately gain site intelligence that used to require fixed infrastructure and constant patrols.

  • All in one energy site security trailer
    Argos combines PTZ and multi sensor cameras, strobes, and audio in a single platform. It watches fences, gates, tanks, and critical equipment from one high vantage point.

  • Solar and battery power for off grid operation
    Up to 2 kW of solar and self heating lithium batteries keep Argos running at remote wells and stations. There is no need to tie into local power or run generators just to support cameras.

  • Built in connectivity for remote locations
    Argos uses Starlink style satellite and site Wi Fi in addition to cellular. You can bring secure connectivity to sites that had little or no network access and see them from your control center.

  • AI event detection tuned for the physical world
    Spot.ai video intelligence looks for people, vehicles, and motion where it should not be. It highlights real events and reduces time spent on false alarms and static video.

  • Live access and searchable history
    Operators and security teams can see live feeds, search by time or event type, and download clips when they need to investigate or report an incident.

  • Built for oil and gas and critical infrastructure requirements
    Argos uses NDAA, TAA, and BAA aligned components and is designed with public sector and critical infrastructure security expectations in mind.

Argos and your field operations working together

Argos does not replace your field teams, SCADA systems, or process controls. It gives them another set of eyes. With Argos in place, supervisors, controllers, and security staff can see what is happening at remote sites without driving there first.

Your teams focus on:

  • Operating wells, stations, and plants safely

  • Managing contractors and vendors

  • Responding to alarms, work orders, and events

  • Communicating with regulators, partners, and communities

Argos supports them by:

  • Watching remote sites around the clock

  • Recording activity at gates, fences, and critical assets

  • Capturing visual context for alarms and anomalies

  • Providing footage to support investigations and reports

With that combination you can reduce unnecessary truck rolls, shorten time to understand events, and turn physical security and safety from guesswork into documented action.

How partnering with VigilanteX works

We bring the hardware, AI, and deployment experience. You bring your assets, risk profile, and operational goals.

1. Discover
We review your portfolio and risk. That includes site types such as wells, stations, and yards, and considerations like remoteness, theft history, and regulatory needs. Together we identify where Argos can make the biggest impact first.

2. Deploy
Our team delivers Argos units to your sites and gets them online. We help choose placement, configure camera views and zones, and confirm that alerts and video are flowing to the right people.

3. Integrate
We connect Argos into your existing workflows. That might be security operations, control centers, or shared dashboards with HSE and asset management. We keep access and alerts simple so adoption is easy for field and office teams.

4. Grow
As you add sites, change production, or update your risk assessment, we scale Argos with you. You can move units, add LunaVue cameras, or expand from a pilot area to a broader footprint without starting over.

Oil and gas FAQs

How does Argos help secure remote wells and pads?

Argos provides visible, 24/7 monitoring at the pad. It records who arrives, when they arrive, and where they move. AI helps you spot unauthorized access and unusual activity so you can respond faster and share clear evidence if something happens.

Yes. Argos can be deployed at key points such as valve sites, metering stations, or temporary construction areas along a pipeline. You can move units as work progresses or risk changes and maintain coverage where it matters most.

Argos does not change your SCADA or process control. It gives you an extra visual layer. When an alarm occurs, your teams can pull up live video at that site and understand what is happening before dispatching a crew. Over time you can align Argos alerts and events with your existing procedures.

Argos provides a clear visual record of site conditions and activity. That supports incident reviews, environmental and safety reporting, and conversations with regulators or partners. It shows that you are actively monitoring your assets and taking physical security and safety seriously.

The answer depends on how many sites you have and how complex they are. Some operators start with a small fleet for their highest risk locations. Others design a coverage plan that includes Argos units and LunaVue cameras across a wider footprint. Our team will help you match coverage to risk and budget.

Pricing depends on the number of units, deployment length, and monitoring options. We do not publish pricing because each program is tailored to a specific portfolio and risk profile. When you talk to our team, we build a plan that fits your operation.
