Various Types Of 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.

In these sites, many underground pipes are involved either to carry crude oil to the e tankers or gas. It is necessary to indicate the presence of such and this is where the issue of pipeline markers come in. They can be designed to look just as the customer had in mind. Logos of companies can also be included while coming up with these posts.

In every location that involves dangerous activities, warning labels should be laced. In the oilfields, a lot drilling takes place, in some regions poisonous gasses are released into the atmosphere.it has also been witnessed numerous times where the ground collapses and people are buried in hem alive. This calls for the need of putting up these posts to warn those who are involved of this danger that can befall them.

There are many companies that work in these areas. Labels go as far as to the vehicles that operate in these zones. Once they have markers on them, it is one major way of advertising. These are also designed in accordance to the preference of the customer in question. This helps the operators meet all the highway requirements since it is a law that such vehicles are supposed to contain adequate labeling.

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.
