Project Background

Yanting Natural‑Gas Project of PetroChina is a key oil‑gas development project in central Sichuan. Drilling well sites scatter across hilly mountain areas with heavy transportation work for site grading, earth‑rock excavation, spoil removal and pipeline material delivery.
Most drilling sites are temporary field construction locations with variable construction cycles and frequent relocation. Some remote mountain well sites have no fixed gate and no municipal power supply, making permanent concrete foundation impractical. Traditional manual trip registration brings high staffing cost for multiple parallel sites under harsh mountain field conditions. Paper ledgers are vulnerable to dampness and loss, which causes heavy reconciliation workload and frequent freight disputes. A fast‑deployable, relocatable portable vehicle counting solution is highly demanded.

Project Pain Points

1. Scattered mountain well sites with frequent relocation: fixed‑pole devices with concrete foundation cannot be moved when drilling work finishes.
2. Insufficient on‑site infrastructure: temporary field posts lack fixed gate and mains power, not fit for permanent civil construction.
3. High labor cost for multi‑site duty: simultaneous construction at multiple well‑sites requires many on‑site registrars under tough mountain environment.
4. Risks of paper ledgers: manual records are easy to damp and lost, bringing huge workload for engineering calculation and financial reconciliation.
5. Low equipment reusability: conventional fixed‑mount devices are difficult to disassemble and circulate among different sites, raising procurement cost.

Solution

Chongqing Jinyun Machinery deployed Portable Vehicle Automatic Counting Robot for Yanting Natural‑Gas Project of PetroChina. Supported by tripod bracket, the system needs no concrete foundation and can be rapidly assembled on‑site. Solar‑battery power supply enables off‑grid operation for remote mountain well sites. Hauling vehicles pass without stop. AI license‑plate recognition identifies plates and distinguishes inbound‑outbound directions to count trips of spoil haul‑away, pipeline material delivery and solid‑waste transportation. Outdoor LED screen displays plate number and real‑time trip data. All snapshots, timestamps and statistical records are stored in cloud platform. Upon completion of one well‑site, equipment can be quickly disassembled and transferred for reuse at other drilling locations, matching the frequent‑move operation mode of oil‑gas projects.

Hardware Advantages

‑ Integrated tripod portable design: no civil pouring required, fast assembly and disassembly for circulating reuse among mountain well‑sites.

‑ Industrial‑grade outdoor protection, dust‑proof and rain‑proof for stable 24/7 operation under muddy, dusty and changeable hilly field conditions in central Sichuan.

‑ Solar‑battery hybrid power supply supports independent off‑grid operation, eliminating cable‑laying work for remote sites.

‑ HD camera with infrared fill‑light ensures reliable license‑plate recognition under backlight, rainy and night low‑light scenarios.

‑ High‑brightness outdoor LED screen keeps readable under strong sunlight for on‑site data check by drivers.

Core Software Functions

1. AI license‑plate recognition & auto counting: identify transport‑vehicle plates automatically, distinguish inbound‑outbound directions and count trips for spoil outward transportation, pipeline‑material delivery and solid‑waste haulage.
2. Real‑time LED on‑site display: show plate number and trip number upon vehicle passing to reduce settlement conflicts.
3. Cloud archiving of vehicle snapshots: auto‑capture photos bound with plate number, timestamp, direction and trip data for traceable inquiry.
4. Cloud management platform: remotely check multi‑well‑site transport records 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.
5. 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 assembled on‑site without civil construction. Transport vehicles pass detection zone without stopping. License‑plate recognition and trip statistics are completed automatically, with counting results displayed synchronously on LED screen.
The system perfectly adapts to scattered temporary mountain well‑sites and frequent relocation of Yanting Natural‑Gas Project. One unit can circulate among multiple drilling positions and reduce total equipment procurement quantity. Manual registration posts are removed and error‑prone paper ledgers are replaced by unified cloud‑based data storage.
Complete snapshot archives and transparent on‑site counting effectively resolve freight‑settlement disputes for earth‑rock and pipeline‑material transportation, realizing lightweight, relocatable unattended digital transport management for mountain temporary oil‑gas well sites.

Customer Benefits

1. Cost‑efficiency improvement: portable relocatable design supports cross‑site reuse to cut equipment investment; cancel scattered manual posts to save field‑duty labor cost.
2. Adaptable for mountain temporary well‑sites: zero‑foundation fast deployment, overcoming the restriction of permanent civil construction in mountain field.
3. Off‑grid flexible deployment: solar‑battery power supply without wiring work for remote mountain well‑sites.
4. Transparent & traceable counting: LED on‑site display plus cloud snapshot archives provide solid evidence and reduce business settlement disputes.
5. Centralized multi‑site supervision: cloud platform supports separated management for multiple well‑sites. Managers access transport statistics remotely to support oil‑gas project engineering accounting and construction scheduling.
