ABSTRACT
Offshore oil and gas resources are being exploited with greater intensity and security challenges affecting offshore oil and gas installations are likely to continue to grow in the years ahead.1 Attacks on and unlawful interferences with offshore installations are likely to continue and in the future they may have greater implications for the world’s economy and security generally. Concerns about security threats such as terrorism and piracy and potential serious consequences of attacks on offshore installations are likely to continue to be major issues for governments and oil companies worldwide.
