Global
energy demand is expected to rise by as much as 50% over the next 25
years. This combined with depletion of existing fossil fuel reserves
will mean extensive exploration and production activities by the
offshore oil and gas industry in the years to come. 75 percent of
this increased requirement is expected to come from the developing
world. Security provides industries the freedom to find, develop and
manage assets and to deliver services and supplies without
interference. Being secure is a result of having the correct strategy
through innovative technology, supported by rigorous systems
management. Even a simple standalone offshore well site’s risk
assessment must consider type of fluids produced, well pressure,
directional configuration, measured depth and vertical depth, water
access, location, sub-surface safety valve, well maturity and
reserves, damage containment, and possible collateral damage. The oil
and gas infrastructure security market will experience steady growth
over the next lustrum. The unconventional oil and gas boom, the
expansion of the LNG infrastructure supply chain, continued offshore
developments and the emergence of the digital oilfield are all prime
factors for new security solution spending.
There
are myriad factors affecting the security environment in which oil
and gas assets are developed and transited. Current oil and gas
infrastructure, future expansion plans, the present and evolving
security situation and the perception of those responsible for
infrastructure security all shape current and future spending. Threat
perception is particularly important for the IT asset security
market; this is because many small and medium cap oil and gas
enterprises (SMEs) continue to be unaware of the vulnerabilities
inherent in the automation and control systems they are beginning to
use on a daily basis. Instability in some market spaces is currently
on the increase - Nigeria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen - to name but a few
examples, and this is increasing the security spending on onshore
infrastructure security personnel. The involvement of homeland
security or military assets in the protection of oil and gas assets
further drives up spending. On the other hand, establishing and
maintaining such security measures require constant diligence as well
as time, effort and investment which can be cumbersome and can divert
the market from its core competencies, which is provision of products
and services. However, since these measures are imperative in such
volatile times, no leniency can be shown, which acts as a positive
catalyst for the market.
The
oil and gas infrastructure security market can be segmented based on
the solution provided viz. asset protection; and by services:
consulting, system design and integration, risk and threat
assessment, managed security services, and training and education.
End users in this industry are corporations and Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME) mainly based in industries such as aerospace and
defense, BFSI, education, energy and utilities, government,
telecommunication and logistics.
Geographically,
the demand market for petroleum infrastructure security solutions is
concentrated in areas that account for the most production and supply
of products and services as well as the level of threat experienced.
Major demand is being seen from the Middle Eastern and African oil
producing countries along with many others, such as Malaysia, China
and Australia in the Asia Pacific region. Increase in cyber systems
integration is also being seen in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa.
European regions have tightened security mostly at their North Sea
pipelines as well as drilling positions. The demand from U.S. and
Canada has experienced a steady rise owing to their extensive civil
and defense installations offshore, mostly oil wells and
telecommunication equipment.
Some
of the key market players involved in the provision of cyber security
systems are Aegis Defense Services Limited, Airbus Defense and Space,
G4S plc, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation and
Thales Group.
