Oil fields operate in remote, high-value, and high-risk environments. With expensive equipment, fuel, materials, and critical infrastructure spread across vast areas, oil and gas sites are frequent targets for theft, vandalism, trespassing, and unauthorized access. This is why oil field surveillance, delivered by trained security guards, is essential for maintaining safety, continuity, and compliance.

At Alpine Protection Services, we provide professional oil field surveillance through licensed security guards across Alberta, ensuring your site remains protected 24/7—even in remote locations.

What Is Oil Field Surveillance?

Oil field surveillance refers to the continuous monitoring, patrolling, and protection of oil and gas sites by trained security personnel. Unlike camera-only monitoring, guard-based surveillance offers real-time decision-making, physical presence, and immediate response.

Our oil field surveillance guards focus on:

• Monitoring site activity
• Preventing unauthorized access
• Protecting equipment and materials
• Ensuring worker safety
• Responding to incidents and emergencies

This proactive approach helps prevent losses before they happen.

Why Oil Field Surveillance Is Critical

Oil and gas sites face unique challenges that make professional security essential:

Remote Locations

Many oil fields are far from urban centers, making them harder to monitor and slower for emergency services to reach.

High-Value Assets

Drilling equipment, pipelines, fuel, and tools are costly and attractive to thieves.

Unattended Areas

Sites are often left unattended overnight or during shift changes, increasing vulnerability.

Safety & Compliance Risks

Unauthorized individuals on-site create safety hazards and regulatory issues.

Security guards provide the human presence needed to manage these risks effectively.

How Our Oil Field Surveillance Guards Protect Your Site

1. Controlled Site Access

Guards verify personnel, log vehicles, and prevent unauthorized entry to sensitive areas.

2. Regular Patrols

Foot and vehicle patrols cover large areas, including perimeters, equipment zones, and storage areas.

3. Theft & Vandalism Prevention

A visible security presence acts as a strong deterrent against criminal activity.

4. Emergency Response

Guards respond quickly to incidents such as trespassing, equipment tampering, fire risks, or medical emergencies.

5. Monitoring After-Hours Activity

Most theft and vandalism occur at night—our guards ensure round-the-clock protection.

6. Incident Reporting

Detailed reports provide accountability and help with investigations and insurance claims.
