Long-term challenges and acute crises have thrown the oil and gas (O&G) industry into turmoil. Not only is the industry navigating ESG market demands along with talent retention issues, but new obstacles like an inflationary market and the Russia-Ukraine war are putting a strain on the industry’s supply chain. Despite the volatility in the industry, the continuity of supply in the energy sector remains critical to the world.
Additionally, the growing focus on sustainability is causing the sector to reevaluate its business strategy by investing in decarbonized energy sources. At the same time, critical supply chain challenges — including visibility, data exchange, integrated planning and vessel sharing — require technology investment to support more innovative supply chain models .
