INTRODUCTION

Oil and gas operations depend on reliable supply chains that deliver materials, equipment, services, and products at the required time and location. Supply interruptions can delay projects, reduce production, increase costs, and create serious operational and safety risks. Effective supply chain management requires coordination between procurement, engineering, maintenance, operations, finance, suppliers, warehouses, and transportation providers. This course provides a structured framework for managing supply chain and logistics activities across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Participants explore strategic sourcing, demand planning, inventory optimization, warehousing, transportation, customs, and supplier management. They learn how to manage critical materials, long-lead equipment, emergency requirements, and remote-site logistics. The program also examines digital supply chain tools, performance indicators, risk controls, and sustainability practices. Case studies and practical exercises help participants address realistic challenges within complex energy environments. The course prepares professionals to improve availability, efficiency, visibility, resilience, and value throughout the oil and gas supply chain.
