PetroChina Anyue Natural‑Gas Project‑Portable Vehicle Automa
Project Background
Anyue Natural‑Gas Project of PetroChina is a key oil‑gas development project in Sichuan‑Chongqing area. Drilling sites are widely scattered with frequently‑changing working faces. Heavy transport tasks include site leveling, spoil outward transportation, construction‑material delivery and solid‑waste haulage.
Most well sites are temporary field construction points with variable construction cycles and frequent relocation as drilling proceeds. Many temporary sites have no fixed gate or concrete foundation, and some remote sites lack municipal power supply. Traditional manual trip registration requires large staffing for scattered posts. Fixed counting devices need civil concrete foundation and are hard to dismantle and reuse. Paper ledgers are vulnerable to loss and damage, causing frequent reconciliation disputes for earth‑rock and material transportation. A fast‑deployable and relocatable portable vehicle counting solution is urgently required.

Project Pain Points
- Dispersed & highly‑mobile well sites: temporary drilling locations require frequent relocation; traditional fixed‑pole devices demand concrete foundation and are inconvenient to move.
- Restricted site conditions: many well sites have no fixed entrance and no mains power, not suitable for permanent civil construction.
- High manual‑duty cost: multiple well‑sites operate simultaneously, leading to heavy staffing burden under harsh field environment.
- Drawbacks of paper ledgers: manual records are easy to lose or dampen, bringing huge workload for engineering accounting and freight reconciliation.
- Low reusability of fixed equipment: cumbersome dismantling and transfer restrict reuse among different project sites.
Solution

Chongqing Jinyun Machinery deployed Portable Vehicle Automatic Counting Robot for Anyue Natural‑Gas Project of PetroChina. Supported by tripod bracket, the device requires no concrete foundation and can be rapidly set‑up on site. Built‑in solar power enables off‑grid operation. Hauling vehicles pass without stop. AI license‑plate recognition identifies plates and distinguishes inbound‑outbound directions to count trips of spoil, construction‑materials and solid‑waste transportation. Compact outdoor LED screen displays plate number and real‑time trip data. All snapshots, timestamps and statistical data are uploaded to cloud storage. After construction, the system can be quickly disassembled and transferred for reuse at next well site, perfectly matching frequent‑relocation operation mode of oil‑gas projects.
Hardware Advantages
‑ Integrated portable tripod design: no civil pouring required, fast setup and convenient disassembly for transfer and reuse among well sites.
‑ Industrial‑grade outdoor protection, dust‑proof and rain‑resistant, adapting to muddy, dusty and rainy field conditions in Sichuan‑Chongqing mountain area.
‑ Built‑in solar power system for independent operation at remote off‑grid sites without cable‑laying work.
‑ HD camera with infrared fill‑light guarantees stable license‑plate recognition under cloudy day and night low‑light conditions.
‑ Compact high‑brightness LED screen keeps readable under strong sunlight for on‑site data presentation.
Core Software Functions
- AI license‑plate recognition & auto counting: identify transport‑vehicle plates automatically, distinguish inbound‑outbound directions and count trips for spoil outward transportation, material delivery and solid‑waste haulage.
- Real‑time LED on‑site display: show plate number and trip number upon vehicle passing to reduce settlement conflicts.
- Cloud archiving of vehicle snapshots: auto‑capture photos bound with plate number, timestamp, direction and trip data for traceable inquiry.
- Cloud management platform: remotely check transport records of multi‑well‑sites on PC and mobile terminals; support data isolation by project and well‑site; auto‑generate daily & monthly reports with export support for engineering accounting and financial reconciliation.
- Vehicle whitelist & blacklist: authorize qualified construction vehicles and filter irrelevant vehicles for well‑site access control.
On‑site Application Effect
After deployment, the portable robot is quickly erected by tripod without civil work. Transport vehicles pass detection zone without stopping. License‑plate recognition and trip statistics are finished automatically, with counting results shown on LED screen synchronously.
The system perfectly fits temporary, scattered and frequently‑relocated features of oil‑gas well sites. One unit can circulate among multiple drilling positions, lowering overall equipment procurement quantity. Manual registration posts at scattered well‑sites are eliminated. Paper ledgers are replaced by cloud‑based data storage, and multi‑site data are managed on unified cloud platform.
Complete snapshot archives and transparent on‑site counting effectively resolve freight‑settlement disputes of earth‑rock and material transportation, realizing lightweight, relocatable unattended digital transport management for temporary oil‑gas field well sites.
Customer Benefits
- Cost‑efficiency improvement: portable relocatable design supports cross‑site reuse to cut equipment procurement cost; replace manual registration posts to save labor expenditure.
- Adaptable for temporary well‑sites: zero‑foundation fast deployment, solving the restriction of permanent civil construction at oil‑gas temporary working points.
- Fast off‑grid deployment: solar power supply without wiring work for remote field well sites.
- Transparent & traceable counting: LED on‑site display plus cloud snapshot archives provide solid evidence and reduce business settlement disputes.
- Centralized supervision for multi‑projects: cloud platform supports separated management for multiple well‑sites. Managers access transport statistics remotely to support engineering accounting and construction scheduling for oil‑gas projects.
