The Middle East is renowned for its large quantity of oil fields, and one of their biggest oil companies required a security update to a 9km site. The site, being the world’s second largest oil field, needed a high security upgrade to ensure the security of the perimeter was maintained.
This oil field provides around half of Kuwait’s crude oil production, roughly producing around 1.7m barrels of oil per day; and is the world’s most important source of energy thus security is of paramount importance.
The site has important significance for the country’s oil production, but however consists of an extremely remote site situated within a desert, with a large open perimeter. The key priority is to ensure the protection of the field’s assets. Tensions across the regions and throughout the world means that outside threats and attacks are possible, highlighting the need for a high security perimeter. Potential attacks to the global oil market can result in the oil supply chain being threatened, which in turn can affect the industry’s economy.
It is an important task to maintain and improve upon the high security level surrounding the oil field, as the vulnerability of the oil industry can have serious effects on oil prices around the world.
