Introduction
Course overview
Oil and gas operations depend on complex supply chains delivering equipment, materials and services to remote, offshore and hazardous locations. Delays and shortages can stop production or drilling, while excess inventory ties up capital.
This Aractech course covers supply chain strategy for oil and gas, demand planning for projects and operations, procurement, materials management, warehousing, offshore and remote logistics, marine and aviation support, and supplier performance. Participants learn how to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk.
Case studies from upstream and downstream operations illustrate practical solutions.
