Technology and Cyber Resilience for the Oil and Gas Sector

When your teams are working in North West Australia, from Carnarvon to Onslow, Barrow Island, Dampier and Karratha, you need reliable technology that keeps onshore, offshore and subsea operations moving.

This is where we come in, with managed IT and cyber security that doesn’t miss a beat. Our tech experts bring the knowledge and skills to help oil and gas companies reduce risk, build operational resilience, meet SOCI obligations, and keep people, systems and sites connected.

Managed IT for Oil and Gas

Your operations are complex enough – and the last thing you need is for IT to become another challenge.

Your people work across the head office, onshore plants, offshore platforms and remote fields. And whether they’re based in the North West Shelf, the Browse Basin or the Carnarvon Basin, they need to stay connected, safe, and supported by reliable technology and responsive IT expertise.

This is even more important when the oil and gas sector is hit much harder by downtime, and it’s not just admin that suffers. The impact has a ripple effect across your entire operation, from production to communication and SCADA, DCS and SIS systems.

At Ever Nimble we minimise unplanned downtime and build resilience with a proactive approach, cyber security focus, and a deep understanding of your industry shaped by real world experience. And when you need help to meet SOCI compliance, we bring the knowledge and skills to streamline the process. The result is a reliable technology partner that’s ready to work with you at every stage – from exploration to production.

Connect onshore & offshore sites

When sites aren’t connected, you lose visibility and response times slow down. We deliver consistent and high-speed connection across your locations, including wellheads and platforms, with Starlink satellite and Azure Local solutions you can rely on day in, day out.

Protect OT & control systems

IT isn’t the only technology you need secured to reduce risk. We build your cyber security posture and maturity across SCADA, DCS, SIS and IT/OT convergence. From network segmentation to secure access, 24/7 monitoring and security controls managed with care.

Reduce shutdown & turnaround downtime

Shutdown and turnaround are high-cost, high-risk maintenance windows for the oil and gas sector. We reduce downtime and keep work moving with reliable connectivity, proactive monitoring, and timely IT support so your team can move past issues fast.

Meet SOCI compliance obligations

As part of Australia’s critical infrastructure, you need to meet SOCI Act obligations. We simplify compliance by assessing your environment for risks, implementing and maintaining cyber security controls.

Maintain commercial trust

Joint venture partners and insurers need to be confident in your operations. We strengthen your business’ cyber resilience to ensure data, systems and operations are secure. As a result, you can maintain commercial confidence and build stronger partnerships.

Plan with purpose

Your technology needs to align with the bigger picture and support what’s next. We deliver tailored IT strategies and technology roadmaps designed for today’s operational priorities and tomorrow’s projects, changing requirements and business growth.

Scale from exploration to production

Whether you’re operating upstream, midstream or downstream, we make sure technology, security and support keep pace. From FID through to new fields and facilities, you can expect reliable, protected and supported IT that grows with you, instead of becoming a barrier.

What would an hour of unplanned downtime mean for your operation?

If a control system went offline mid-shutdown, how would your production, people and wider operation be impacted?

If you want to prevent this scenario, the best approach is a proactive one. We take the time to understand the technology your business depends on and where risk sits, so we can prioritise improvements and enhance business and operational continuity.

From cyber resilience to IT and OT infrastructure, SOCI compliance, disaster recovery and connectivity, we help you move forward with a practical plan and expert support to make it happen.

Let’s talk reliable, secure technology for your oil and gas operations

FAQs

What is OT/IT convergence in oil and gas?

This is the connection between your business technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). Today, they’re increasingly connected in oil and gas operations to increase visibility, drive efficiency, and power remote capability. However, this often introduces new cyber security risk, so IT and OT need to be connected with the right security controls in place – including segmentation, access controls and monitoring.

Does the SOCI Act apply to oil and gas companies in Australia?

Yes. The Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018 applies to critical infrastructure assets, which include oil and gas assets. As a result, you need to comply with SOCI legal obligations that demonstrate risk management, preparedness and resilience. You can find a full list of obligations, which include reporting cyber incidents and adopting, upholding and complying with a written critical infrastructure risk management program (CIRMP) here. If you need support to meet SOCI compliance, we can help.

How can oil and gas operators reduce downtime during shutdowns and turnarounds?

You can support work within planned windows with reliable infrastructure, proactive monitoring, consistent connectivity, reliable data backups and recovery procedures, and responsive support. If you want to minimise downtime, our tech experts bring the skills, knowledge and experience to make a real difference.

What is cyber resilience for offshore and onshore oil and gas assets?

Cyber resilience means your offshore and onshore operations have the security controls and processes in place to:

  • Prevent a cyber attack with proactive security controls.
  • Detect threats quickly through ongoing monitoring.
  • Respond to incidents with clear processes.
  • Recover with reliable backups and disaster recovery plans.
  • Support business and operational continuity during disruption.

If you’re not confident in your business’ cyber resilience, we have the knowledge, experience and tools to tick every box – so you have more peace of mind and can keep operations moving.

Can Ever Nimble support remote and offshore oil and gas sites in WA?

Yes, we have strong experience supporting remote and offshore sites in WA, ensuring we can deliver reliable, secure technology that keep your team and operations connected. We make this possible with proactive monitoring, secure remote access, and timely follow the sun support that’s always there when you need it.
