Supply chains for the oil & gas sector. Identification and location of the oilfield service operators in the contemporary geopolitical system

Abstract

Upstream in Oil&Gas sector is the beginning of most operations at entire supply chain management. A close‐knit bound between this sector and further links of logistics providers is perceivable on daily basis. Any turnaround has a significant impact on the whole supply chain and its management. Awareness of market fluctuations and knowing its strongest players helps to conceptualize the strategy of optimization and prepare for unpredictable. In this work I aim to identify factors which have to be taken into consideration while optimizing the supply chain for the Oil&Gas Sector.
