With the last few years of my 28 years in logistics and supply management
in the oil industry, it's clear to me that the oil & gas industry needs to wake
up to the benefits to modernization. The oil and gas industry has multi-million
dollar rigs with some of the most state-of-the-art equipment to reach faster and
more efficiently the new model of drilling, but yet they're bogged down in the
old model of materials, logistics, supply and warehousing.
"Order this and get it here now" is the battle cry of most OIM's and
Rig Superintendents. They don't worry about the bottom line, they have
a hole to drill and they don't give a rat's ass about the supply &
logistics support systems. It's about time the shore-based support
services wake up and start cleaning out hundreds of thousands of
dollars of waste and apathy that decreases the rig's bottomline. A
good look at the supply support system is an easy place to sweep out
the trash.
