Oil and natural gas, which today account for over 60% of the
world's energy supply, are often produced by offshore platforms.
One third of all oil and gas comes from the offshore sector.
However, offshore oil and gas installations are generally
considered intrinsically vulnerable to deliberate attacks. The
changing security landscape and concerns about the threats of
terrorism and piracy to offshore oil and gas installations are
major issues for energy companies and governments worldwide. But,
how common are attacks on offshore oil and gas installations? Who
attacks offshore installations? Why are they attacked? How are they
attacked? How is their security regulated at the international
level? How has the oil industry responded? This timely and first of
its kind publication answers these questions and examines the
protection and security of offshore oil and gas installations from
a global, industry-wide and company-level perspective. Looking at
attacks on offshore installations that occurred throughout history
of the offshore petroleum industry, it examines the different types
of security threats facing offshore installations, the factors that
make offshore installations attractive targets, the nature of
attacks and the potentially devastating impacts that can result
from attacks on these important facilities. It then examines the
international legal framework, state practice and international oil
and gas industry responses that aim to address this vital problem.
Crucially, the book includes a comprehensive dataset of attacks and
security incidents involving offshore oil and gas installations
entitled the Offshore Installations Attack Dataset (OIAD). This is
an indispensable reference work for oil and gas industry
professionals, company security officers, policy makers, maritime
lawyers and academics worldwide.
