Given the predicted global increase in energy demand, securing Europe's future energy needs will become of high geopolitical and strategic importance. Apart from the European strong dependence issue, another relevant issue involves the reliability of the infrastructures, as far as possible accidents and terrorist attacks are concerned. Indeed, vulnerability to oil and gas supply interruptions poses serious threats to the European economy and the life-style of its citizens. Aim of this paper is to present a structured review and analysis of the oil & gas incidents related to the supply interruptions, establishing a first basis for recording all related incidents in a structured and transparent way. |
