Certificate in Strategic Management in Oil and Gas Business
About This Course
The Oil and Gas industries are undergoing significant changes due to various geopolitical and market occurrences. Current outlooks on Oil and Gas prices are difficult to forecast, volatile, and subjected to pressures from alternative energy sources. All these hold major implications for upstream and downstream Oil and Gas operations.
What are the strategies used to transform the oil and gas supply chain?
Throughout the past few years, companies and businesses in the Oil and Gas industry have witnessed remarkable changes in demand and supply. Operators have faced declining crude prices, which have led to cutting back on supply-chain spending. Businesses have had to cut costs and, in some instances, change business models in response. Companies have had to design strategies to transform their Oil and Gas supply chain to adapt to changes in the industry. These strategies are developed to help manage current challenges while assisting companies in making maximum profits within the short and long term.
