Site security characteristics for oil and gas industry
01. Large distributed objects

Industrial enterprises have extended perimeters, several geographically dispersed sites.

02. High risk of theft

The greatest damage is caused by theft through the export of stolen items using cars and railway transport.

03. Access control

Entrance to the sites is by identification card.

04. Transportation of products by railway and by truck

Industrial facilities usually accept raw materials and release finished products by railway, rarely by truck.

The following secure subsystems are integrated into the hardware-software solution by the principle of “one-stop shop”: access control systems, videosurveillance systems, systems for protecting the perimeter, intruder detection and alarm systems, secure lighting and others.

Threats
  • Systematic theft of liquid raw materials, end products, equipment, fuel.
  • Accidents related to violations of the technological process, safety or contrived by a dissatisfied employee.
  • Accidents related to equipment failure due to aging (e.g. fuel leaks from pipelines due to corrosion).
  • Accidents related to the situation of strain due to structural deformation (e.g. heavy accumulation of motor transport on bridges, snow accumulation on roofs, etc.).
  • Terrorism.
  • Opening of storages (containers, boxes, etc).
  • Violation of work discipline (which may lead to non-performance of job functions).
  • Unauthorized presence of vehicles and people in access-controlled areas.
  • Violation of the vehicle movement plan on the territory of the enterprise (unloading/loading).
  • Disorder of wells for the extraction of raw materials.
  • Inefficient use of resources (electricity, water, gas, etc.).
The integrated security system scheme for industrial sector facilities:

 

Aims
  1. Risk reduction associated with potential threats (industrial accidents, environmental pollution with a threat to the life and health of staff, economic losses, and the threat of a terrorist attack).
Objects
  1. Security command center.
  2. Perimeter.
  3. Hazardous production sites.
  4. Warehouses and production facilities of hazardous industries.
  5. Control of entrance and exit of railway transport.
Tasks
  1. Automation of pedestrian and motor transport checkpoints.
  2. Efficiency increase of detecting break-in attempts at the facility, and also violations access mode and emergency situations due to integration.
  3. Improving the efficiency of information security systems, through their integration into united integrated security system.
  4. Automation of decision support by operators in response to security incidents.
  5. Automation of alarming events’ verification, by the results of which the scenario of its processing is selected.
  6. Operators’ work control, identifying deviations from incidents’ reaction rules
  7. Security levels’ management organization.
  8. Reduction of the enterprise’s losses and the control of the construction works’ progress (for example, binding passes issued for contractors’ employees and vehicles to contracts; calculation of time worked for each contract, etc.).
Solution description
  • A safety management system that ensures data integration, efficient event processing and alarm signals’ timely transmission to security personnel and management;
  • Individual security systems’ level:
    • Access control systems

    • Perimeter protection systems

    • Videosurveillance and video analysis systems

    • Heat monitoring systems

    • Radar and optical systems

    • Facility-based and radio contact alert systems;

    • Global positioning systems (based on GPS / GLONASS) and position finding of moving objects;

    • Specialized applications for managers, where the information filtered by various criteria is transmitted (for example, signals about critical deviations in the work of a particular site, claiming direct intervention of the manager).
