2nd Annual Oil Operations & Logistics 2013 Summit
The increasingly global nature of the oil and gas market means that a key factor affecting companies competitiveness is the ability to be efficient, cost-effective and on-time. This summit will address the challenges affecting the upstream oil and gas logistics function in Europe, including remote and geographically challenging locations, managing heavy and large equipment, corrosion control & management, meeting safety and security requirements, critical transportation requirements, the benefits of delivery diversification and the necessity of working closely with third and fourth party providers, all while remaining fully complaint. Land and sea borne logistics challenges will be addressed and there will be a number of case studies focused on major projects and critical hydrocarbon regions across Europe, to ultimately give delegates a well-rounded view of the logistics landscape for oil and gas companies operating across Europe.
The Summit has been designed to address the operational challenges in the oil and gas upstream and midstream, sector such as meeting safety and security requirements and the challenges around keeping in line with QHSE policies and standards, planning and scheduling workloads, sourcing and retaining the best operations and logistics personnel and the necessity of a more integrated approach to operations and further collaboration with third and fourth party suppliers, all while remaining fully complaint.
The meeting will also provide a number of case studies and presentations addressing the logistical challenges the oil and gas sectors faces, and the strategies and technologies at your disposal to mitigate these. The difficulties posed by remote and geographically challenging regions, managing heavy & large equipment, critical transportation requirements and cost effectively evaluating multi-modal transportation options will be assessed. Land and seaborne logistical challenges will also be addressed along with critical consideration for supply chain management and procurement within the upstream and midstream sectors to ultimately give delegates a well-rounded view of the logistics landscape for oil and gas companies operating internationally.
Oil and gas companies have long been reliant on a pioneering approach and highly innovative technology to get ahead, but the increasingly global market means that in order for companies to remain competitive, the biggest priority now is for them to attain the highest performance levels when it comes to being efficient, safe, cost-effective and on-time.
The 2nd Annual Operations and Logistics 2013 Summit will assist you in attaining the knowledge and tools required to ensure your operations are as effective as possible with industry-wide examples and expertise over the two days.
Last year we welcomed speakers from Shell, Qatar Petroleum, Noble Energy, GE, Exxonmobil, ConocoPhillips and Petrobras amongst others, and a very senior delegate profile including senior Logistics and Operations personnel from companies such as Repsol, Eni, Statoil, Total and BG amongst others to the meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
The oil and gas logistics and operations function is constantly evolving to accommodate new and often hostile regions as well as increasingly stringent regulations and compliancy requirements. In order to remain competitive many oil and gas companies are working ever more closely with the trucking, barging and railroad industries. The very nature of oil and gas operations and logistics is thus becoming ever more convoluted and decision makers are obliged to stay abreast of all developments in terms of strategies, regulations and technologies in order to ensure the wellbeing and optimal productivity of their company.
The effectiveness of the operations and logistics function is absolutely vital; in 2008 $3.56 trillion was spent on oil operations and logistics in the US alone, and forecasts predict this figure nearing $4 trillion by the end of this year. A significant amount of your businesses expenditure can be curtailed if you have the best tools at your disposal and this Summit will assist you enhancing your knowledge of these.
