Mitigating Emergent Vulnerabilities in Oil and Gas Assets via Resilience

Abstract

This chapter discusses digital vulnerabilities and resilience in the Norwegian oil and gas infrastructure. The oil and gas industry is a part of critical infrastructure in the EU, since Norway is a key supplier with 30% gas and 10% of oil in 2015. We have considered hidden, dynamic and emergent risks. We have suggested Resilience Engineering as a framework to handle surprises, recover and adapt. There is a need to establish a more proactive network with actors collaborating across communities of practices, borders and interfaces.
