Introduction to the Supply Chain and Service Contract in the Upstream Industry.

Overview:
This module introduces the fundamental principles of Supply Chain Management and Service Contracts in the Upstream Oil & Gas Industry, highlighting their role in supporting Exploration and Production (E&P) activities.
The first section examines the Supply Chain in the Manufacturing Industry, defining its main components and illustrating how materials, equipment and information flow from suppliers to end users.
The second section focuses on the specific characteristics of the Upstream Oil & Gas Supply Chain, from equipment manufacturers to remote exploration and production sites. Through practical examples and an exercise, participants identify the similarities and differences between manufacturing and upstream supply chains, particularly in terms of geographical complexity, operational constraints and logistics requirements.
The third section introduces the fundamentals of Service Contracts, starting with the definition of a contract and an overview of the different types of contracts used in the upstream industry. Particular attention is given to the different types of contractual obligations and their implications for the relationship between operators and service providers.
