This is a problem that is, unironically, best solved with bullets. How many oil & gas companies have standing militaries?

Your only chance to "outgun" oil companies is through politics and leveraging the power of the state. Whether it is Chevron in Nigeria during the late 90s or the Canadian company Enbridge in Minnesota now, or pretty much every story since we began extracting energy resources from the ground, energy companies are absolutely able to fund security that will operate on their behalf with overwhelming force.
