Oil wells play an important role in the extraction of oil and gas, and their future potential extends beyond oil and gas exploitation to include the development of geothermal resources for sustainable power generation. Identifying and detecting oil wells are of paramount importance given the crucial role of oil well distribution in energy planning. In recent years, significant progress has been made in detecting single oil well objects, with recognition accuracy exceeding 90%. However, there are still remaining challenges, particularly with regard to small-scale objects, varying viewing angles, and complex occlusions within the domain of oil well detection. In this work, we created our own dataset, which included 722 images containing 3749 oil well objects in Daqing, Huatugou, Changqing oil field areas in China, and California in the USA. Within this dataset, 2165 objects were unoccluded, 617 were moderately occluded, and 967 objects were severely occluded. To address the challenges in detecting oil wells in complex occlusion scenarios, we propose the YOLOv5s-seg CAM NWD network for object detection and instance segmentation. The experimental results show that our proposed model outperforms YOLOv5 with F1 improvements of 5.4%, 11.6%, and 23.1% observed for unoccluded, moderately occluded, and severely occluded scenarios, respectively.
