Course Overview

NEW

The oil and gas industry relies on highly integrated supply chains to ensure the timely delivery of equipment, materials, spare parts, and services across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Supply chain disruptions can lead to production delays, increased operational costs, safety risks, and reduced profitability. Effective supply chain management enables organizations to optimize procurement, inventory, transportation, warehousing, supplier performance, and logistics while maintaining compliance with industry regulations and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements.

This course equips participants with practical knowledge and tools to design, manage, and optimize supply chains throughout the oil and gas value chain. Participants will explore strategic sourcing, procurement planning, supplier relationship management, inventory optimization, contract management, logistics coordination, warehouse operations, transportation planning, risk management, digital supply chain technologies, local content integration, and supply chain performance measurement. The programme also examines supply chain resilience, sustainability, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies that improve operational efficiency and business continuity.

Through practical exercises and real-world case studies, participants will develop the skills to strengthen supplier collaboration, reduce procurement risks, optimize inventory levels, improve logistics performance, enhance operational resilience, and build efficient, cost-effective supply chains that support safe and reliable oil and gas operations.
