Course Description: 

The proper procurement of goods and
services is essential for successfully delivering oil and gas projects. The
procurement of goods and services also constitutes a significant portion of
project spend. Delivering projects on schedule, at competitive rates, and with
the best available input (people, goods, materials
and technology) requires
planning, minimizing and reducing waste and
inefficiency along the supply chain, mitigating supply chain risks, and
adopting appropriate contracting processes.

The Supply Chain Management and Procurement practices must operate at the upper quartile of the supply chain grid to deliver the
best procurement outcome and ensure that projects avoid delays and cost
overrun. It is also important to know the tools to deploy to get the most
competitive deal from the market place, to cut off wastages and inefficiency
along the supply chain, and to effectively negotiate with and manage suppliers
to  get the best from them.        All of the above are important if the
project is to be delivered on time, with the best materials, at the least
possible cost and with regard to safety of operations. Therefore understanding
best practices in oil and gas upstream procurement and supply chain management
is essential to the successful delivery of projects, especially if oil prices
are low – if you cannot control the price of oil, at least you can control your
third party procurement and supply chain spend to ensure that ongoing projects
are not ruined by severe cost overrun.

This course will expose participants to a comprehensive treatment of
issues associated with upstream Midstream and Downstream procurement and supply
chain management, showing how these issues can be managed for successful
project delivery from demand identification to fulfillment; from supplier
relationship management to project close out.
