The petroleum industry’s reach and strategic importance present it with unique dilemmas.

While delivering superior financial performance, all industry players are expected to operate in a transparent and socially and environmentally responsible manner in some of the world's most sensitive countries.

Control Risks has been helping the oil and gas industry meet these and other challenges since the 1970s. We are proud to be a trusted partner of the world’s leading oil and gas companies and national operators, as well as project lenders and insurers.

Control Risks provides:

• Political and security risk analysis – these include independent assessments of business, travel and security risks before and during exploration and extraction.
• Business intelligence and investigation – we provide a range of services including due diligence, asset tracing and fraud investigations to help oil and gas clients enter business relations with their eyes open. These investigations often help to reduce the cost of finance.
• Security management – we offer technical security services (onshore and offshore) and sophisticated management of security strategy in places where security is linked to broader issues of social performance.
• Travel and personal security – our travel services are designed to make sure that employees and their dependants feel as safe and informed as possible before and during deployments.
