Current Information On Oil Field Signs

By Mattie MacDonald


There are companies whose main work is creating custom made signs for oilfields depending on the specifications of their customer. These are areas that have an abundant supply of oil wells that extract petroleum from deep in the ground. Oil field signs can be onshore or offshore.

Just as different letters contain different messages, same applies to these signs. They all bear varying details. Some warn of toxic chemical, poisonous gases, presence of underground pipes among others. One cannot be specified on the number of warnings that he needs to pass across, it all depends on the type of project and dangers that are involved.

Well and lease signs contain various information such as the location of these wells, the name of its lease and operator, depth, the competition type and various included dates. This is done on gauge powder coated steel and additional details may be provided like any legal information that is to be added. These come majorly with punched holes in all the four corners for the purpose of mounting them either on a fence of wall.

The main aim of pipeline markers in oilfields is to pass out information to the public on the presence of underground pipelines. One is able to custom design their posts to what they love most. They come in different colours and specification depends on the taste of clients. Holes can be included in the edges for mounting. When these posts are put in their places, no one can question location of services underground as it is very evident.

Oilfields are some of the most unpredictable zones ever. They involve the use of explosives, flammables and harmful chemicals. This is the reason as to why only authorized personnel are allowed access to these places. Nonetheless, warning or danger signs are important to remind each and every one of the dangers that can be experienced, how to avoid them and what to do in the event anything arises.

Other than putting signs on the ground, the law requires that all automobiles that are involved in transportation of materials into and out of the oilfields be clearly labeled. This involves putting danger symbols on the bodies of the trucks if they are transporting toxic substances. This is also a means of advertising of these companies along the road thus popularity is gained in the market.

Entrance codes are also available at the gate of the project location. They carry a great deal of information such as the name of companies that are involved in these operation, additional details such as the speed limit for vehicle that enter the site among other warnings. Every personnel is required to read the sign before entry into the concerned area.

Signs in the oilfields are many and as discussed above, their benefits are numerous. There are some who argue that the cost of buying all these signs is overwhelming. However, those who are aware of the cost of dealing with damage that has been brought about by lack of knowledge is far much worse. This means that effort should be put in learning how to prevent disasters than learning how to take care of the harm.
