Employees, contractors and visitors included in the accountability population.
REAL OPERATIONAL USE
1,300+ People. A Hostile Drone Strike. Approximately 60 Minutes.
An anonymized operational case study from an active gas facility in Iraq.
Illustrative image representing the incident environment. Not an image of the actual customer site.
The Situation
In November 2025, a hostile drone strike hit a Natural Gas Liquids area at an operating gas facility. The incident caused a fire, plant shutdown and loss of grid power. Conventional site-dependent systems, including local servers, RFID readers and site Wi-Fi, became unavailable.
The Accountability Challenge
The operation needed to account for more than 1,300 people, including a substantial contractor and visitor population. Personnel movement and evacuation extended beyond fixed facility boundaries, while the systems normally used to support site visibility were unavailable.
How LivePOB Was Used
1
LivePOB remained accessible through two independent carrier networks and its cloud environment.
2
Personnel used the SelfMuster workflow to report SAFE or request HELP through suitable connected devices.
3
HSE, Security and Operations monitored confirmed reports and unresolved records from one centralized platform.
4
Non-responders remained visible for follow-up instead of being assumed safe from previous access or location records.
The Recorded Outcome
Time in which the large majority of the population submitted status reports.
The cloud workflow remained available while site-dependent infrastructure was unavailable.
Around 100 unresolved records were confirmed not physically on site, exposing an access-record gap that was corrected the following day.
Why This Matters
The incident demonstrated the value of an accountability platform that is not dependent on a single site network, reader system or fixed muster point. LivePOB maintained operational visibility and status evidence when conventional infrastructure was unavailable.
PUBLIC CLAIM LIMIT
Use "maintained operational visibility and accountability".
Do not claim that LivePOB saved lives or guaranteed the safety outcome.
