Oil & gas site are a dangerous place to work in, taking the risk these sites have into consideration. If you are going to look at the numbers, then more than 65% of the oil & gas sites are not secured in a right way. Global energy demand is expected to rise by as much as 50 percent over the next 25 years. This combined with depletion of existing oil and gas reserves will mean extensive exploration and this exposes these sites to lot of risks. Oil & gas security provides oil and gas companies the freedom to find, develop, and manage assets and to deliver supplies without interference. It will also make sure that the employees working in these sites are protected from all the risks and you can be sure about the overall security at the premises. Here are some of the security risks that were happened in the past.
- In 2008, computer systems owned and operated by major international oil companies were hacked by external forces seeking oil and gas lease bidding information. In one specific attack, a virus infected a dynamic positioning system, adversely affecting the operation of a semi-submersible drilling rig.
- An Iranian oil terminal was knocked ‘offline’ after a ‘malware attack’.
Oil and gas firms often have tens of thousands of computers, and you need to make sure that they are protected at all times. Oil and gas security also requires you to safeguard the site against the possibilities of someone entering the premises and doing something wrong. When you contact oil & gas security , they offer you various solutions for the protection of the perimeter using a variety of detection technologies, as active fences equipped with fibre optic and micro-phonic cable, to detect vibrations and sound, infrared and microwave barriers, CCTV for motion detection and access control.
Oil and gas firms should then apply a life-cycle approach to establish a strong security foundation, and then continuously manage security in an agile and persistent way. The best way to safeguard the perimeter against all odds of risks is by taking the security from a good oil & gas security company. They use security measures like contactless smart badges that display the user’s picture on the guard’s control screen during entry and biometrics such as fingerprint or face recognition for high security zones. Adopting more secure packages that are on offer by the security companies will allow you to strategise and optimise security programs, defined by automation, continuous risk and threat management, and robust governance, giving you complete control over the site.
