1 Scope, Purpose and Objective
This publication is intended to assist the offshore oil and natural gas drilling and producing operators and contractors in assessing security needs during the performance of oil and natural gas operations. The offshore oil and natural gas indus- try uses a wide variety of contractors in drilling, production, and construction activities. Contractors typically are in one of the following categories: drilling, workover, well servicing, construction, electrical, mechanical, transportation, painting, operating, and catering/janitorial.
2 Definitions
2.1 company security officer (CSO): The CSO is responsible for the maintenance of the Security Plan. The CSO shall have access to relevant security information. The CSO shall determine which information, and by what means, it is communicated. The CSO may delegate duties as neces- sary to assure timely completion of responsibilities. The CSO may be assigned other duties and responsibilities unrelated to security.
2.2 contractor: the individual, partnership, firm, or cor- poration that is hired to do a specific job or service, such as a production operator, drilling or well servicing contractor or to provide contract employees to an owner/operator; a contrac- tor is also the individual, partnership, firm, or corporation retained by the owner or operator to perform other work or provide supplies or equipment. The term contractor shall also include subcontractors.
2.3 facility: Any artificial island, installation, or other device permanently or temporarily attached to the subsoil or seabed of offshore locations, erected for the purpose of exploring for, developing, or producing oil, natural gas or mineral resources. This definition includes mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs).
2.4 facility owner/operator: The individual, partner- ship, firm, or corporation having control or management of offshore operations.
6 Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA)
Prior to conducting the SVA, the first step should be a char- acterization of the facility or the group of similar facilities attributes, e.g. the quantity of oil and/or natural gas produced, the number of personnel on board, proximity to shipping lanes, physical access to the facility, and existing security measures and procedures already in place, such as at the point(s) of embarkation. If a facility meets or exceeds any of the threshold charac- teristics or operating conditions established by the relevant government, or the owner/operator, a SVA may be required. Additionally, a facility may by deemed critical by a particu- lar owner/operator for a variety of other reasons. Each owner/operator should not only review the threshold charac- teristics/operating conditions, if applicable, they should also determine if a SVA is warranted based on their own unique criteria. If the characterization results reflect appropriate security measures are already in place at point of embarkation, a SVA and additional measures may not be warranted.
