Operations & Supply Chain Management
Advanced Logistics and Contract Management in the Oil and Gas Industry
A five-day course on logistics and contract management for oil and gas operations, covering supply base and field logistics, heavy and hazardous cargo, customs and Incoterms, contract structures, claims, and performance measurement. Participants learn to keep remote operations supplied and hold contractors to standards.
Introduction
Oil and gas operations depend on a logistics chain that reaches remote fields, offshore platforms, and desert sites where a missing part stops production and a wrong contract clause costs millions. Materials must arrive on schedule, contracts must assign risk clearly, and every movement must be documented for customs, safety, and audit. This Advanced Logistics and Contract Management in the Oil and Gas Industry Training Course gives logistics, contracts, and supply chain professionals a complete method for both disciplines in this demanding sector. Participants learn to plan heavy and hazardous movements, qualify carriers and contractors, structure service and framework agreements, and control cost, risk, and performance across the chain.
Advanced Logistics and Contract Management in the Oil and Gas Industry Course Objectives
- Plan inbound, field, and offshore logistics for oil and gas operations.
- Select carriers, freight forwarders, and contractors against HSE and capability criteria.
- Manage heavy, oversized, and hazardous cargo movements with permits and safety plans.
- Apply Incoterms 2020 and customs procedures to project and operational cargo.
- Structure contracts: lump sum, unit rate, day rate, and reimbursable.
- Draft key clauses covering HSE, liability, indemnity, and termination.
- Manage service level agreements and key performance indicators.
- Control contract variations, claims, and dispute resolution.
- Apply anti-bribery, conflict of interest, and ethical sourcing controls.
