Oil and Gas

Securing the future of oil and gas

The oil and gas industry today is facing unprecedented challenges. Prices are fluctuating wildly against a background of oversupply, sharp changes in demand and new modes of production such as fracking. At the same time, exploring new potential fields has become more expensive and plagued by political instability in the resource-rich regions of the world.

Added to that is governmental and societal pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and increase the use of renewable energy sources. On a purely operational level, production planning is becoming more unpredictable and the maintenance of assets more expensive. On top of this, digital transformation is creating new business models and rendering traditional methods and processes obsolete.

Against that background, infrastructure sabotage is causing costly shutdowns and industrial espionage and data theft are a threat to the very survival of companies. This means a new focus on IT security as well as carrying out maintenance and repair shutdowns in refineries in a much safer way, including using ATEX-classified inspection equipment in hazardous areas.

Finally, as an inherently risky and sometimes dangerous business, it is essential to have robust HSE processes in place to protect the health and safety of the people who work in the industry.
