Agip, Safrap later Elf, Tenneco and Amoseas now Texaco/chevron
operating in both onshore and offshore
These have remained the six oil majors.

Nigerians involvements in the oil & gas sector
Role of crude before 1971 and after

It involve for instance the construction of roads and carnal, breaking up of
virgin or mangrove in the process of which fauna and floras are destroyed in
addition to environmental pollution and the introduction of alien cultural
pattern and value system.

•
•
Learn
Recruiting and insider or accomplice

Terrorist may use divisionary tactics
Try to intercept, delay, or destroy police force
Use period of lowered security performance( rain, high sun)

KEY ISSUES IN SECURITY MANAGEMENT
1.
2.
3.
4.
security is about managing risk.
a systematic approach to security helps understanding of threats &
vulnerability
both management and individual staff need to be involved in creating
and maintaining systems
One individual’s neglect can have a collective impact.
HARD OR SOFT TARGET?
• Focus of effective security program is to make workers and assets less
attractive targets-HARD TARGETS
• Criminals look for:
vulnerability + predictability = soft targets
Opportunistic criminals will look for obvious sign of wealth. Remember, whilst
you may not think yourself to be wealthy, the fact that you drive a car or
have a driver, wear a suit and eat in a restaurant is enough to give the
perception of wealth.
