AI for Oil & Gas Safety.
Investigation built for process safety.
Remote sites, contract crews on turnarounds, and process risk that can turn catastrophic. Intero investigates each incident to a cited cause your team reviews and signs.
Why Oil & Gas Safety Needs AI
High-consequence failures, diverse contract crews, and complex regulatory environments demand intelligence that manual processes cannot deliver.
Common oil & gas hazards
Oil and gas operations face high-consequence hazards where a single failure can escalate fast.
Process Leaks & Releases
Hydrocarbon releases, gas leaks, and process upsets that can escalate to fires or explosions. Early detection and rapid response are critical to preventing catastrophic events.
Confined Space Incidents
Vessel entry, tank cleaning, and maintenance in enclosed spaces with atmospheric hazards. Permit-required confined spaces demand rigorous procedural compliance.
H2S Exposure
Hydrogen sulfide is a constant threat in oil and gas operations. Colorless and deadly at low concentrations, H2S exposure events require immediate, thorough investigation.
Turnaround Injuries
Planned shutdowns concentrate hundreds of contractors performing high-hazard work (scaffolding, hot work, confined space entry, heavy lifts) in compressed timeframes.
Permit-to-Work Violations
Hot work permits, confined space permits, and isolation certificates require strict procedural compliance. Violations often precede serious incidents.
Cross-Site Equipment Failures
Similar equipment across multiple sites can share failure modes. A valve failure at one refinery may indicate risk at every facility running the same equipment.
How Intero helps
Intero works from the first report to the follow-up on every fix, and keeps a person on the sign-off.
Reporting During Turnarounds
Contract crews type or dictate a report and attach photos, without stopping work. Intero asks the follow-up questions one at a time and opens the case.
Process Safety Investigation
Every credible explanation is tested against the evidence. Prevention and mitigation barriers are graded and drawn as a bow-tie; contributing factors are drawn as an AcciMap.
Permits and Isolations Graded
The permit, the isolation and the gas test are treated as barriers and graded by what the record shows. Intero asks who authorized the work and through what.
Review & Sign-Off
Every investigation is a draft until someone with approval rights signs it off. The author can’t approve their own case unless they are the only approver. Intero advises; people decide.
A gas release becomes an investigation.
Illustrative scenario.
A small release is found at a flange during a turnaround. Nobody is hurt. The area supervisor reports it with photos.
- 1Report typed with photos of the flange and the tags
- 2Intero asks: who authorized the work, and through what permit?
- 3Explanations tested: gasket failure, incomplete isolation, bolting torque
- 4Classification: loss of containment, High-Potential, with its reason
- 5Corrective actions traced to findings and tracked to closure
