Why now

The oil and gas logistics and operations function is constantly evolving to accommodate new and often hostile regions as well as increasingly stringent regulations and compliancy requirements. In order to remain competitive many oil and gas companies are working ever more closely with the trucking, barging and railroad industries. The very nature of oil and gas operations and logistics is thus becoming ever more convoluted and decision makers are obliged to stay abreast of all developments in terms of strategies, regulations and technologies in order to ensure the wellbeing and optimal productivity of their company.

The effectiveness of the operations and logistics function is absolutely vital; in 2008 $3.56 trillion was spent on oil operations and logistics in the US alone, and forecasts predict this figure nearing $4 trillion by the end of this year.
