Energy Resilience in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Navigating Regional Instability

Monday, 18 May 2026 |  11:00 am - 12:00 pm KSA Time

Regional instability is increasing the complexity for energy organisations across Saudi Arabia. Risks affecting infrastructure, operations, cybersecurity, supply chains, and workforce continuity are no longer isolated—they are converging.

For senior leaders, resilience is becoming a leadership priority, not just an operational one. The ability to stay coordinated, informed, and operational during disruption now cuts across governance, decision-making, and business continuity.

This virtual executive briefing explores how the operating environment is evolving and introduces six strategic pillars that organisations can use to strengthen resilience across people, systems, and partners.

Designed for senior leaders across oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, utilities, and energy infrastructure, the session provides a clear framework to help leaders focus on what matters most next.

What you will gain

By joining this webinar, you will gain:

  • A clearer view of how risks are converging across Saudi Arabia energy landscape
  • An executive perspective on resilience as a leadership responsibility
  • A practical six-pillar framework to assess readiness and exposure
  • Insight into maintaining operations, coordination, and trusted information during disruption
  • Sharper questions to guide resilience decisions in the months ahead

Who should attend

This briefing is designed for decision-makers across Saudi Arabia energy value chain — national oil companies, integrated operators, refiners, LNG producers, petrochemical manufacturers, utilities, and EPC contractors.

Welcome note
An opening perspective on the purpose of the session and the resilience themes now shaping executive conversations across Saudi Arabia energy sector.

11:05 – 11:15

The new operating reality
A concise view of how regional instability is affecting the energy landscape, with growing pressure on continuity, infrastructure, cyber posture, workforce coordination, and operational decision-making.

11:15 – 11:45

A practical framework for assessing resilience across six critical dimensions:

  • Asset Documentation and Engineering Knowledge — Ensuring critical engineering, maintenance, and operational information remains accessible when speed, accuracy, and coordination are essential.
  • Cloud Architecture and Infrastructure Resilience — Rethinking data availability, failover strategy, and sovereign access to critical operational information as digital continuity becomes a board-level concern.
  • Cybersecurity Under Converging Threats — Strengthening visibility, control, and resilience as physical and digital risks increasingly intersect across energy operations.
  • Supply Chain and Contractor Coordination — Improving visibility across suppliers, logistics, and contractor ecosystems during disruption, constrained availability, and rebuilding activity.
  • Legal Preparedness, Compliance, and Governance — Maintaining the documentation, evidence, and auditability required for contractual, regulatory, insurance, and governance readiness.
  • Operational Continuity and Remote Workforce Enablement — Enabling teams to stay connected, informed, and operational even when traditional workforce models and site access are under strain.
