Oilfield Supply Chain Consulting
Helping you address the challenges of the upstream supply chain
Remain resilient in a dynamic, cost-pressured market
The upstream sector is enduring the most prolonged downturn in a generation. Following more than a decade of growth, the rapid, severe contraction has affected the supply chain profoundly. Characteristically innovative and resilient, the upstream service business will emerge stronger and more efficient yet, in the short-term, considerable challenges remain.
In an uncertain market, you need clarity, global insight and detailed industry understanding to help address challenges before they threaten your operating strategy.
Our oil refinery consultants work with you to provide clear, independent analysis that is tailored to your specific needs, including:
- Deep understanding of the mid and long-term market outlook
- Opportunity identification across regional and global sectors
- Macro to micro evaluation of your business
- Competitive intelligence
