About OGS
The International Oil & Gas Security (OGS) conference series brings a network of global contacts under one roof, creating a focused setting for senior professionals working across the oil and gas sector.
Following three years of regional events spanning Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, OGS continues to convene stakeholders around cyber security, SCADA, ICS, and risk management in upstream and downstream operations.
About IRN
International Research Networks (IRN) is a business intelligence group that organizes high-profile summits and forums for senior decision-makers. The team curates content, speakers, and delegate experiences that help attendees stay current on industry developments and expand their professional networks.
IRN-produced events are designed as working settings for learning, benchmarking, and one-to-one meetings, drawing together operators, regulators, and technology providers.
Corporate Social Responsibility
IRN integrates responsible practices across its event portfolio, supporting sustainable travel guidance for delegates, working with venues on accessibility, and partnering with organizations aligned with the long-term interests of the energy sector and the communities it serves.
The International Oil and Gas Security conference series has grown into a recognised gathering point for senior decision makers across the energy sector. By concentrating on cyber security, operational technology, and physical risk in upstream and downstream environments, it offers a focused setting where practitioners can exchange insight that is often hard to access through general industry forums.
Organisers of the event work to curate an audience of strategists, engineers, and policy leads responsible for protecting critical infrastructure. Sessions explore threats to drilling, pipeline monitoring, and refining operations, alongside regulatory expectations, incident response planning, and the evolving role of intelligence sharing between operators and government partners working across multiple jurisdictions.
Beyond the formal agenda, the conference emphasises peer to peer networking through invitation only meetings, roundtable discussions, and exhibition showcases. Participants frequently use the setting to benchmark approaches to resilience, evaluate emerging technologies, and build trusted relationships that extend well beyond the two days of the programme itself.
The broader series reflects the increasingly global nature of energy security. Following a run of regional events across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, the platform continues to adapt its themes to regional threat patterns, regulatory frameworks, and infrastructure priorities, recognising that secure operations remain a shared international responsibility across the industry.
