Performing Oil Gas Cybersecurity Assessment

Overview

Cybersecurity skill for performing oil gas cybersecurity assessment. Follows industry best practices and security standards.

When to Use

Trigger phrases:

• "performing oil gas cybersecurity assessment"

• "This skill covers conducting cybersecurity assessments specific to oil and gas f"

• When conducting a cybersecurity assessment of a refinery, pipeline, or production facility

• When preparing for TSA Pipeline Security Directive compliance (SD-01, SD-02)

• When assessing cybersecurity posture against API Standard 1164 (Pipeline SCADA Security)

• When evaluating the security of remote wellhead SCADA systems and satellite communications

• When a merger, acquisition, or regulatory audit requires a comprehensive OT security evaluation

Do not use for IT-only corporate network assessments of oil and gas companies, for physical security assessments without a cyber component, or for environmental compliance assessments.

When NOT to Use

• When you lack proper authorization for testing
• For production systems without change management
• When the task requires legal or compliance expertise beyond technical scope

Prerequisites

• Written authorization from facility management and operations team
• Understanding of oil and gas operations (upstream, midstream, downstream processes)
• Familiarity with API 1164, TSA SD-01/SD-02, IEC 62443, and NIST CSF
• Passive monitoring tools for OT network traffic capture
• Access to network diagrams, SCADA architecture documentation, and safety studies (HAZOP)

Workflow

# Example: IOC detection
import re

    "ip": r"\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b",
    "domain": r"\b[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,}\b",
    "hash_md5": r"\b[a-f0-9]{32}\b",
    "hash_sha256": r"\b[a-f0-9]{64}\b",
}

def extract_iocs(text: ) -> :
     {k: re.findall(v, text)  k, v  IOC_PATTERNS.items()}
