ABSTRACT
The experience of last decades shows that the share of losses of producer companies is increasing in the
world because of actions of international organized criminal groups. This threat mainly touches on politically
unstable regions, however a perspective development of a fuel and energy complex (FEC) different
countries raise new demands to safety and functioning reliability of FEC objects and, first of all, objects of
oil and gas industry. The primary objective of any protection system is finding and prevention of attempts
of commitment of illegal actions concerning property of physical persons and information. The so-called
principle of acceptable equal risk included in supply of security of oil and gas objects located in the high sea
and on off-shore at the level defined from a condition equal (with other objects) for the proprietor of risk
of its destruction (the functioning termination) is put in a basis of the technical approach offered in the
paper.
By risk, we mean a probable damage (negative consequences) for the state and the proprietor of the objects,
come out due to illegal actions concerning considered object. This risk is characterized by product
probability of achievement of the purpose of illegal actions (index of object vulnerability) on the average
damage caused by these actions. The factor of risk of illegal actions on sea and offshore oil and gas objects
is the basic factor of efficiency of realization of the actions directed on supply of their protection.
When considering diversions concerning modern technological objects statistics methods are little
applicable: purposeful character of actions, presence of huge number of purposes, specificity of a situation,
awareness of infringers don't allow somehow to predict place, time, character and scale of the next action.
Moreover, infringers "study", accumulate experience of carrying out of successful/unsuccessful operations,
and, thereby, don't repeat the errors and inefficient actions made by them (so-called intellectual terrorism).
Considering it, happened deliberate actions should be considered only in the aspect of definition of existing
character and possibility of definition of development trends. For example, from the fact, that infringers
have spent rather limited number of actions against platforms, doesn't follow that in the long term during
rather limited time series of actions against the given objects can't begin.
Owing to said, for forecasting of character and possible scales of losses from diversions the principle of
«full pessimism» can be used at which it is considered that against considered objects all technical means
and forces which are available for terrorists for carrying out of operations in the sea, off-shore and in ports
can be used. Rating features on degree of potential danger should be based on prior estimation of full
damage for the interested subject in case of destruction (or functioning terminations) considered objects as
a result of illegal action which is carried out under the most adverse scenario. The comparative analysis of
models of the infringer, with reference to exploration objects, allows allocating models of the following 4
types:
actions against sea stationary surface object to which actions in regard to production platforms, floating
storages and ships for overloading of liquid hydrocarbons are considered;
