1. A method of automatically generating dynamic virtual fences for a hazardous environment, the method comprising:

  • detecting a potential hazard associated with at least one field object in the hazardous environment;

    determining a risk factor of the potential hazard associated with the at least one field object based on values of real-time operational parameters associated with the at least one field object;

    determining an area and a shape of a dynamic virtual fence for the at least one field object based on the values of the real-time operational parameters associated with the at least one field object; and

    automatically representing the dynamic virtual fence around a location of the at least one field object on a map of the hazardous environment based on the determined area and shape and a value of the risk factor of the potential hazard,wherein the dynamic virtual fence represents a hazardous zone in the hazardous environment, and the risk factor indicates amount of impact of the potential hazard.
