Part 3: In The Age of Drone Warfare, Can The World Still Defend Its Energy Supply? #worldsecurity

This video looks at one of the biggest questions facing the energy sector in 2026: what happens when oil, LNG, pipelines, refineries, ports, and offshore infrastructure can no longer rely on one global security system to stay protected?

For decades, global energy moved under a system largely enforced by American power. It was not perfect, and it was never neutral, but it created enough stability for investment, trade, and energy flow to function. Now that world is changing.

From Nord Stream and Colonial Pipeline, to Abqaiq, the Red Sea shipping attacks, refinery strikes, LNG facility damage, and attacks on power grids, energy infrastructure is no longer just being disrupted by conflict. It is becoming the battlefield itself.

This raises a massive question for governments, energy companies, investors, and workers: are we entering the age of energy defense?

Could offshore rigs, LNG terminals, pipelines, refineries, and tanker routes need their own dedicated defense systems, from drones and subsea sensors to cyber protection, satellites, and directed energy weapons?

And if every barrel of oil and every cargo of LNG now carries a security premium, what does that mean for fuel prices, fertilizer, plastics, food security, inflation, energy jobs, and the future of the global economy?

My name is Jonathan Pillet. I have spent twenty five years in the upstream oil and gas sector, and on Practical Energy Insights, I break down what is happening across energy, geopolitics, oil and gas jobs, infrastructure risk, and the future of the industry.

Follow for practical analysis on energy security, upstream oil and gas, geopolitical risk, and where capital and jobs may move next.
