Video Analytics

Computer-vision solutions that turn live and recorded field video into operational awareness and earlier hazard identification.

Capability overview

Built around the decision, not just the equipment.

Video analytics applies computer-vision methods to camera streams and archived footage. In oil and gas operations, it can support field oversight, help identify dangerous situations, and monitor drilling and well-completion activities.

01

The operational challenge

Understand the condition before choosing the response.

Continuous operations generate more video than people can observe consistently. Conventional camera systems record what happened, but without event recognition they may not provide timely, structured awareness of the activities that matter most.

02

Zima's approach

Connect technical scope with field execution.

The workflow starts with real operating scenarios and the available camera environment. Detection rules, processing, notification, and reporting are then configured and verified against the site's lighting, weather, viewing angles, and operational procedures.

Scope

What the capability includes.

  • Live and archived video analysis
  • Hazard identification and prevention support
  • Drilling and completion crew monitoring
  • Operation in demanding industrial environments
  • Resilience across lighting and weather conditions
  • Use of existing camera infrastructure
  • Turnkey implementation and customer support

Delivery workflow

A controlled path from definition to technical closeout.

The exact program is adapted to the well, operating environment, available data, and the client's decision criteria.

  1. Scenario and camera survey

    Define the operational events to monitor and review camera positions, image quality, coverage, and environmental constraints.

  2. Solution configuration

    Configure detection scenarios, processing infrastructure, notification logic, and interfaces for the intended workflow.

  3. Field verification

    Test representative conditions, review detections with the operating team, and tune the system for usable alert quality.

  4. Operational support

    Maintain event records, reporting, performance review, and technical support as scenarios or site conditions evolve.

Typical deliverables

Information the operating team can use.

  • Camera coverage and scenario assessment
  • Configured detection and notification rules
  • Event records and searchable video references
  • Operational dashboard and reporting outputs
  • Commissioning, training, and support documentation

Where it applies

Configured for the operating context.

  • Drilling and well-completion oversight
  • Automatic recognition of selected hazardous events
  • Restricted-zone and work-area monitoring
  • Personnel and vehicle movement awareness
  • Use of compatible existing camera infrastructure

Operational value

An additional layer of continuous operational visibility that supports safer behavior, faster awareness, and more consistent field oversight.
