The physical protection of Gulf oil and gas infrastructure from military attack, covering defenses for pipelines, processing plants, export terminals and ports, coastal and aerial surveillance, counter-drone protection, and resilience planning after strikes on energy facilities.
Wartime strikes on Aramco's Ras Tanura terminal and Abqaiq complex, the September attacks on the East-West Pipeline (Petroline) and Yanbu, the 26 October Houthi drone strikes on Petroline pumping stations, ADNOC's Fujairah corridor, QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan and the Port of Salalah have made critical-infrastructure protection a Tier-1 priority.
