Overview

GPS Tracking for Oil & Gas

Monitor tankers, trucks, and containers in the oil and gas sector. Fuel level monitoring, route compliance, and container tracking.

Key terms:

Telematics
Technology that monitors vehicles via GPS, cellular networks, and sensors for real-time location and operational data.
GPS tracking
Real-time location monitoring of vehicles using satellite and cellular networks for fleet visibility.
Fleet management
Systems and processes to manage commercial vehicle operations, including tracking, maintenance, and driver behaviour.

The oil and gas sector demands the highest standards of safety, compliance, and operational control. Tankers carrying fuel, LPG, or chemicals require real-time tracking, route adherence, and robust fuel monitoring. Deviations can mean safety risks, regulatory violations, or significant losses from pilferage.\n\nPictor Telematics provides specialized solutions for oil and gas fleets: GPS tracking with geofenced routes, fuel level sensors for tankers, driver behaviour monitoring for hazardous transport, and container/trailer tracking for bulk movements. Our platform supports compliance reporting for regulatory bodies and helps prevent theft—a major concern in fuel logistics.\n\nWe understand the sensitivity of hazardous material transport. Driver fatigue detection, overspeeding alerts, and incident recording (with optional dashcams) add layers of safety. With 9,00,000+ devices deployed and experience across refineries, depots, and retail distribution, Pictor is the telematics partner for India's oil and gas logistics.

Before starting a pilot

  • Define the top operational issue you want to solve first.
  • Select measurable KPIs for a 30-60 day review window.
  • Confirm device fit, installation constraints, and integration expectations.
Features

Key Features

Everything you need to manage and optimize oil & gas operations.

Container & Tanker Tracking

Monitor tankers and bulk containers in real time. Geofence routes and get alerts on deviations or unscheduled stops.

Fuel Monitoring

Ultrasonic sensors measure fuel levels in tankers. Detect drain events, unauthorized delivery, and consumption anomalies.

Route Compliance

Define approved routes for hazardous transport. Receive alerts when vehicles deviate. Maintain audit trails for regulators.

Driver Behaviour Monitoring

Overspeeding, harsh braking, and fatigue indicators. Critical for safe transport of hazardous materials.

Tamper Detection

Alerts on sensor disconnection or GPS tampering. Protect against unauthorized access to fuel or cargo.

Compliance Reports

Trip reports, route adherence, fuel logs. Export-ready for regulatory submissions and internal audits.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GPS tracking and telematics for oil & gas. View all FAQs.

GPS tracking provides real-time visibility of tankers and bulk carriers, route compliance for hazardous transport, fuel theft prevention, driver behaviour monitoring, and compliance reporting. It reduces losses and improves safety.
Yes. We install ultrasonic fuel sensors inside tankers to measure fuel levels in real time. The system detects drain events, unauthorized delivery, and discrepancies. Alerts are sent immediately.
You define approved routes using geofencing. If a vehicle deviates—takes a shortcut, stops at an unauthorized location, or leaves the corridor—you receive an alert. This supports safety and regulatory requirements.
Our hardware is rugged and designed for commercial use. For explosive atmospheres, we recommend consulting with our team on zone classification and installation practices. We have experience with fuel and LPG logistics.
Yes. We offer APIs for integration. Trip data, location feeds, and alerts can be pushed to your ERP, TMS, or custom systems. Contact us for integration specifications.
Trip reports, route adherence, fuel delivery logs, driver hours, and incident logs. Reports are exportable for regulatory submissions and internal audits.
Fuel control typically combines level sensing, geofence policy, and tamper alerts. This does not replace operating controls, but it gives teams measurable evidence and faster exception response to reduce leakage risk.
Yes. Our tracking works for all types of bulk carriers—fuel, LPG, chemicals. Temperature monitoring can be added for specialty chemical transport. Contact us for specific requirements.
Installation includes GPS device (wired to vehicle power) and optional fuel sensor (inside tank). It typically takes 2–3 hours per tanker. Our technicians work at depots and can schedule bulk installations.
Yes. Video telematics with AI dashcams can be added for driver monitoring and incident recording. This is valuable for dispute resolution and insurance. We offer MDVR systems for commercial vehicles.
