Logistics for the oil sector

Logistics is a fundamental element of any project, acquiring a special dimension in the oil and energy sector. The logistical range for this sector includes planning, preparing and distributing resources during the entire execution time of the works.

Typically, the supply chain in the oil sector is divided into three segments. The Upstream sector is in charge of finding/producing crude oil. The Midstream sector handles the transportation and storage of the energy product, followed by the Downstream sector, which is responsible for the distribution and marketing of the finished products.
