The Challenges

Oil & Gas Operations Demand Specialised RFID

Standard RFID hardware cannot survive the extreme temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and explosive atmospheres of oil & gas environments. SomasRO supplies and deploys ATEX/IECEx-certified RFID systems designed specifically for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Harsh Environment Asset Tracking
Equipment in explosive, corrosive, and high-temperature environments requires specialised ATEX/IECEx-certified RFID hardware that standard solutions cannot provide.
Safety Compliance Documentation
Proving safety equipment inspection, calibration, and maintenance compliance in regulated environments requires complete, irrefutable audit trails.
Pipe, Valve & Component Identification
Thousands of pipes, valves, and fittings must be accurately identified for installation, maintenance, and replacement — errors are costly and dangerous.
Tool Management in Hazardous Areas
Controlling which tools enter hazardous zones, ensuring all are returned, and tracking calibration for intrinsically safe equipment.
Supply Chain & Material Traceability
Critical materials must be traceable from manufacturer to installation point. RFID enables the serialisation required for regulatory compliance.

RFID Applications

How RFID Works in Oil & Gas Environments

Equipment & Tool Tracking

ATEX-certified RFID tags track equipment in Zone 1 & 2 hazardous areas. Full check-out/in and calibration management.

Safety Compliance Tracking

Automated tracking of PPE, gas detectors, fire equipment, and safety gear — with inspection and certification alerts.

Pipe & Valve Identification

RFID tags on pipes, valves, and fittings provide instant digital access to specifications, installation records, and maintenance history.

Asset Location (Harsh Env)

Locate equipment across offshore platforms, refineries, and remote field locations — even in metal-dense environments.

Maintenance Scheduling

Usage-based predictive maintenance for all rotating and critical equipment — preventing unplanned downtime.

Supply Chain Traceability

Full material traceability from mill certification to installation point — meeting API, ISO, and regulatory requirements.
