Eclipse Strategic Security have acted as private security contractors to petrochemical giant INEOS Upstream, and oil and gas companies UKOG and Europa. Its work has included monitoring anti-fracking protests across the UK.
Eclipse, which is based in Herefordshire, describes itself as an 'international security and risk management company' which has become the 'leading provider of onshore drilling site security and logistical support services'. It was originally set up in response to 'a growing market' demand for security organisations that could provide a tailored and measured response to 'unorthodox threats' within the fossil fuel industry.[1]

Supporting anti-fracking campaign injunctions
In March 2018 Eclipse manager James Court said in a witness statement supporting UKOG's application for a sweeping injunction preventing even peaceful protest at its sites that:
- "Over the past 12 months, it has become a tactic of anti-fracking protesters to target the operators supply chain in an attempt to disrupt their businesses.”
- “It is clearly the object of the protesters to attempt to intimidate those companies (such as haulage companies, fencing companies and skip hire companies) into withdrawing from their supply operations. Unless stopped, this form of protest against suppliers and sub-contractors will continue.”
