Throughout the world there are rigs for exploration, drilling and production of oil and gas located at sea. Sometimes these rigs are located in territorial waters and sometimes beyond, sitting in Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of various countries with distances up to 200 nautical miles from the shore. In most cases, countries award exploration franchises to private and/or governmental companies that fund the exploration and later the production of the natural resource, wherever it is found. The drilling rigs located at sea are usually classified as strategically vital for the various countries. In light of the large number of various threats (which will be detailed below), many countries, together with private companies, invest large amounts of money to defend these off shore facilities and secure their continuous operation. There is an intimate interface between defending the installations in whose area the drilling rigs are located and the companies operating them. In addition, it is important to define and understand the shared responsibility between the private companies and the countries in defending the assets against various threats.

The threats against drilling and production rigs are many and various, and a pinpoint analysis is needed for every specific threat in order to understand exactly what the threat is and what its causes are. The distance of the drilling rigs from the shore necessitates an independent defense on the one hand cooperation with the navy and/or coast guard on the other. When we attempt to defend an essential installation, we have to perform an analysis of the relevant marine theater, to learn and to analyze who and what are the adversaries, what are their various available modes of operation, to investigate the various defensive capabilities and to tailor the appropriate defense to the identified threat, according to the relevant theater and location. Threats can generally be classified into 2 categories: 1. Threats from hostile actors (hostile terrorists) 2. Threats from criminal actors (Pirates, criminals, etc. ) The separation between the criminal and hostile threats is an important consideration for the entity leading and participating in the defense (for example army or police forces from the relevant country vis-à-vis the company operating and defending the facility). However, the required defense does not differ, specifically the allocation of authority and the force of the required response.

The threats on the installations are varied and include, but are not limited to the following: 1. 2. Harming and damaging the asset: a. Attack from sea by a small and fast vessel (shooting on the installation or the people on it) b. Attack by missiles (air to sea, shore to sea, sea to sea) c. Merchant ship colliding with the rig d. Underwater attack by divers and mining the rig columns e. Attack by an aircraft Takeover of the asset: a. Harming people operating the installation b. Abducting people c. Damaging property (stealing or causing damage) d. Stealing most or part of the assets being stored or produced on the rig

The Defense Concept of the Off Shore Facilities The defense concept is based on the working interface between the perimeter defense provided by the country in whose area the assets are located, and the responsibility for the direct defense of the asset by the entity operating it. To clarify this point, the concept can be compared to a strategic facility located on the shore whose defense is based on a general defense provided by the country and is secured and guarded by a security company acting on behalf of the company who operates it; under the professional guidance of the relevant regulator. The separation of responsibility can be defined in the following manner: 1. The professional guidance and the regulator = the country to whom the facility is its asset. 2. Perimeter defense for the asset as part of defending national interests at sea = the country to whom the facility is its asset. 3. Defense of the specific asset and its immediate vicinity = off shore facility operators. The company operating the facility and who is responsible for its defense will base the defense concept on the perimeter defense strategy provided by the country. Furthermore, the facility defense will incorporate and operate an inner perimeter defense under the professional guidance generally provided by the national navy and/or coast guard. In addition, the detection means utilized by the off-shore facility for its defense are part of the general detection means of the country and assist in building the complete Marine Awareness. In other words, the working interface has two tracks and is based on ongoing cooperation among the various entities.

The defense concept of a vital installation is based on three circles (in addition to the interface vis-à-vis the defense cover provided by the country): 1. The circle of detection and identification (Monitoring Zone) – green circle. 2. The circle of warning and send away (Warning Zone) – orange circle. 3. The stop circle (Exclusion Zone) – red circle. The circles concept defines ranges and limits of approach to the off shore facility as a function of the relevant threats derived from the defense capabilities installed on the asset. Defense capabilities enable the operators to track approaching targets potentially endangering the life of the people or the safety of the facility and designate them as a threat, to warn and stop it first with non-lethal means and as a last recourse with weapons.

In order to determine the defense concept, the country in whose area the strategic facility is located has to determine specific procedures and to publicize the procedures in a clear and open manner to every person (publications distributed to seamen in an orderly manner like "notes to mariners"). These procedures must define the defense concept, clarify what limitations exist when approaching the asset and what the dangers are of such approach. Implementation of the defense concept and the procedures for the asset and its vicinity will be determined in accordance with the limitations distributed in the open publications in order to avoid, as much as possible, any misunderstandings and misuse of various means. Managing the complete Marine Awareness (picture), under the specific responsibility of the asset’s defenders, will be executed from the command control (C&C) room located on the rig. Within the C&C room, all detection, identification and communication means needed for command control of the movement of targets in the proximity of the rig will be centralized.

The means necessary for detection and identification of marine targets and threats are based mostly existing civilian products including: a. The basis for building the marine defense is a command control system that merges the picture of the targets collected by all the sensors into a clear and unified maritime picture. In addition to the command control system, an appropriate and customized communication system is necessary. b. Radar for maritime target detection – civilian radar enabling detection and tracking of marine targets ranging in size from a small fishing boat and larger. c. An Automatic Identification System (AIS) for identification of marine vessels and maritime safety. d. Underwater sonar system for the detection of divers – based on existing civilian systems, used for seaports and rig detection. e. Electro Optical Device (EOD) with detection, identification and tracking capabilities ranging in size from small fishing boats and above. It can also detect swimmers at various ranges – there are many systems for civilian and military applications. f. A lighting array along with night and day cameras (CCTV) for detection and tracking of routine operations onboard the rig and against intruders in emergency situations.

The means required for creating an effective warning and send away zone (in addition to the means detailed in the previous circle): a. "No–kill" means; non-lethal weapons – there are many systems in this area for civilian uses, whose purpose is to force anyone approaching a strategic facility stop and turn away. There are many available means such as: Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) which is an announcement / warning acoustic system, water spraying system, lighting and glare systems, tear gas (various types), etc. b. A small and fast manned or unmanned boat, enabling approach to a vessel/swimmer/diver who breaks the approach limitations of the asset and to warn the intruder from further approach. The boat will be located on the rig as a first priority means and will be lowered from the rig in order to stop the specific object.

The stop circle is the last in the chain of defense of the asset and its function is to stop the intruders at any cost. It is imperative for every participant dealing with intruders and preventing damage to the asset or the authorized personnel, to completely understand the regulations and procedures. Force is only to be used in the case there is an immediate and real threat to the security of the protected rig and its personnel. This subject will receive special attention when teaching and learning the procedures, drills and various trainings. The means necessary for the stop circle (in addition to the means detailed in the previous circles): a. Above-water and underwater perimeter defense – a marine fence anchored around the asset preventing the approach of marine vessels or divers to the rig. There are fences of various configurations enabling varying levels of defense (up to complete stoppage of a fast marine vessel attempting to break in). b. A manned / unmanned marine vessel – In addition to the capabilities defined in the section dealing with warning and send away, a light weapon firing capability from a marine vessel, standing up and seating, with or without a tripod when the vessel is in slow motion or standing with reasonable shaking of the vessel; by the operators of the vessel or alternatively controlled firing from the remote control command post.

c. A remote control or manually operated weapon located on the rig – firing means mounted on tripods on the rig of up to 30 millimeter caliber remotely controlled by connection to electro optic device or manually operated. Prevention means for boarding of unauthorized persons – folding ascension ladders, fences, etc. e. Stopping of production operations in emergencies – Stopping the production of the rig by one button in emergencies and turning off of all lighting aboard the rig. f. A 'last line' defense force located on board the rig capable by using light weapons to repel any takeover attempts on the installation. The force is comprised of trained operatives capable of fighting in a complex built installation. The force is equipped in addition to light weapons, with personal night vision devices. g. An array of gates and fences on-board the rig including gates, retractable ladders and fences preventing unwanted motion / invasion on board the raft.

1. Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (TVRA) and Master Security Plan (MSP) 2. Turn-key security solutions 3. Training of local security forces who will be able to work as an autonomous body 4. Red-Teaming services (penetration tests)

The TVRA is the first step that should be conducted. It can be performed by our experts as a stand-alone service or as part of our full security services. The purpose of conducting the TVRA is to identify the threats and vulnerabilities related to the oil rig. Risks determined by these threats and vulnerabilities will be analyzed, and countermeasures will be proposed. These findings and recommendations will be integrated into a general security approach. A detailed Master Security Plan (MSP) will be developed based on these findings. To develop a Master Security Plan (MSP), the first step is to conduct an assessment of the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities which the rig and security personnel are likely to face, in order to have a complete understanding of the existing security situation. From this evaluation, the security approach, plan, and design are developed and then implemented and operated. Four. Troop's Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment takes into consideration the following main criteria: The current threats of terrorism and the likelihood of such activities in the vicinity of the rig. The current crime level, as well as other security threats common to the zone. Existing conditions, such as maritime applications and equipment, staff, command control center, arms, etc. The competence of the security team, the current command control facilities and personnel state of mind. The existing technologies in use by the security team and their effectiveness in helping counter the threats as analyzed in the TVRA.

The assessment will be conducted by Four. Troop experts over the period of a few days on the rig itself. Following the assessment, our experts will prepare a full Master Security Plan which will include the following: Recommendations with regards to security personnel (amount, training etc. ) Protocols and procedures that are necessary to be written and implemented (routine, alert and emergency) Technological means, arms and equipment that will assure the most efficient security for the rig Implementation plan that includes times for execution, recommended vendors and estimated costs

They are up-to-date with latest doctrines and procedures and maintain operational ability. They provide the trainees with personal instruction while employing the highest standards. Security Management With the completion of the training and the establishment of a homogenous security team, Four. Troop will provide security officers which will lead the teams. Our security officers are will prepare the teams to act effectively and decisively in routine and emergency situations by drilling facility procedures and simulating realistic scenarios.

The Four. Troop Red-Teaming methodology is a continuous and systematic process of identifying, assessing, and controlling threats and associated security risks related to activities. The base methodology is broad, and is individually tailored to each rig's situation. The "Inside-out/Outside-in" concept enables Four. Troop to view the security installation from within—the facility’s perspective—and, even more importantly, from the attacker’s outside viewpoint. The Four. Troop Red-Teaming method conducts sophisticated penetration tests using the internal and external knowledge, a keen understanding of the perpetrators modus operandi, as well as experience being the attacker. Together, these methodologies enable Four. Troop to develop an optimal solution against real, relevant security threats and risks. The findings of the penetration tests will be presented to the client and will consist of the following: The systematic identification of new, specific and generic threats and the risk assessment of those threats The systematic identification of security loopholes and bottlenecks as well as countermeasures The report will include the needed adaptation for the security policy (countermeasures) which ensures that measures are effective, efficient and in proportion to the risk. With years of experience in the Special Operations Forces (SOF) environment, our penetration test team composed of former Navy SEAL operatives & Israeli Security Agency (ISA) officers, will offer a decisive answer to potential threats posed by criminals, pirates or terrorists.
