An oil and gas logistics training course, delivered by distance learning

Maximising the efficiency of oil and gas logistics for the onshore and offshore E&P engineering supply chain.

The oil and gas industry operates in just about every imaginable geographic and climatic region across the world, including some of the most extreme conditions known. Wherever operations are taking place they are dependent upon a complex network of transport and supply in order to deliver the people, materials and equipment where they are needed, when they are needed.

Many of the people who are dependent upon logistics services are not really aware of the complexity, variety and indispensability of the activities involved in providing this support. Much logistics activity is generic and is common to all industries and ventures. The oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry frequently presents unique and challenging problems that often have to be overcome utilising creativity and business acumen.
