Managed Services for the Oil and Gas Pipelines

The oil and gas industry has facilities that typically spread across various remote locations, and are not usually connected to an enterprise network. It includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (by oil tankers and pipelines) and marketing petroleum-based products. The industry has been responsible for a number of high-profile environmental incidents, including oil spills, and leaks from refineries and pipelines that have resulted in a great deal of negative media coverage and hence extensive scrutiny by regulatory authorities.

Oil and Gas pipeline, spread over thousands of kilo meters of barren land, are high risk assets of oil companies. Aging pipeline infrastructure is prone to oil leaks, which are common causes of damaging oil spills. Additionally, due to the very nature of this asset, there can be high risk of theft and vandalism.
