Operations & Supply Chain Management
Logistics of Oil, Gas and Petroleum Products
A five-day course on moving and storing petroleum products safely and reliably across the industry, covering upstream and downstream supply chains, rig and well-site logistics, pipeline and marine transport, terminals and tank farms, HSE and compliance, and performance measurement. Participants learn to keep field and terminal operations supplied without downtime.
Introduction
Oil and gas logistics begins upstream and never stops. Drilling crews need equipment at remote sites, refineries need crude on schedule, and distributors need product at terminals before tanks run dry. Each stage involves specialised transport, hazardous materials handling, and storage under strict safety rules. This Logistics of Oil, Gas and Petroleum Products Training Course gives logistics, supply chain, and operations professionals a complete working method for that environment. Participants learn upstream and downstream supply chains, pipeline and marine transport, tank farm and terminal operations, HSE and regulatory compliance, and cost and performance measurement. Furthermore, the course connects logistics reliability to production uptime and customer service.
Logistics of Oil, Gas and Petroleum Products Course Objectives
- Apply supply chain structures across upstream, midstream, and downstream.
- Plan drilling and well-site logistics with rig scheduling and material control.
- Manage pipeline operations: nominations, batching, and flow assurance basics.

- Manage spares, consumables, and equipment for remote operations.
- Control logistics cost: freight, storage, fuel, and demurrage.
- Apply risk management for spills, route disruption, and supply interruption.
- Measure performance with uptime, delivery reliability, and cost per barrel.
Course Methodology
- Facilitated sessions built on real transport records, terminal data, and supply plans.
- Case workshops on rig delays, terminal congestion, and product shortage events.
- Tank and throughput calculation exercises with live terminal data.
