Operations & Supply Chain Management
Risk Management in the Supply Chain for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals Industry
A five-day course on identifying and controlling supply chain risk in the energy and petrochemical sector, covering risk frameworks and criticality, supplier and market risk, logistics and operational risk, compliance, HSE and contract risk, mitigation design, and resilience measurement. Participants learn to detect exposure before it delays a shutdown.
Introduction
Oil, gas, and petrochemical supply chains carry risk in a form most industries never face. A single valve arriving late can delay a shutdown, a non-compliant spare can create a safety hazard, and a sanction or a port closure can leave equipment stranded for months. This Risk Management in the Supply Chain for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals Industry Training Course gives procurement, supply chain, and HSE professionals a complete working method for that exposure. Participants learn risk identification and assessment, supplier and market risk, logistics and operational risk, HSE and compliance risk, mitigation design, and resilience measurement.
Risk Management in the Supply Chain for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals Industry Course Objectives
- Apply supply chain risk identification frameworks to oil, gas, and petrochemical operations.
- Assess supplier risk through financial, technical, and HSE performance.
- Manage market and price risk for commodities and critical equipment.
- Assess logistics risk: ports, transport, customs, and route disruption.
- Apply HSE and process safety requirements to procurement decisions.
- Apply sanctions, export control, and anti-bribery compliance screening.
- Design mitigation: dual sourcing, buffer stock, and long-term agreements.
- Build business continuity and contingency plans for critical supply lines.
- Apply insurance and contract levers: force majeure, liability, and indemnity.
- Measure resilience with risk exposure, recovery time, and disruption cost.
Course Methodology
- Facilitated sessions built on real supplier records, incident reports, and procurement plans.
- Case workshops on shutdown delays, supplier failure, and cargo disruption.
- Risk scoring, criticality, and mitigation cost exercises with live data.
- Contract and insurance review labs for oil and gas supply terms.
- Group exercise on a supply chain risk register and resilience plan.
Who Should Take This Course
- Supply chain and procurement risk managers in energy companies.
- Category and sourcing managers for oil, gas, and petrochemical spend.
- HSE and process safety officers involved in procurement.
- Contract and compliance officers in the energy sector.
- Logistics, materials, and warehouse managers in oil operations.
- Internal audit and business continuity staff.
