Staying Cost Competitive: The Role of Technology, Logistics, and Policy in Building Efficient Supply

PANEL DISCUSSION: Staying Cost Competitive: The Role of Technology, Logistics, and Policy in Building Efficient Supply-Chains

To stay relevant and attractive, the African Upstream must find ways to produce cheaper barrels and scale up technology adoption across the supply-chain. We gather upstream regulators, government officials, logistics operators and service providers around the challenge of keeping capital and operational expenditures under control and the opportunities it presents to adopt new policy frameworks and technologies.

Key areas of discussion:

What are the most promising technological innovations transforming supply chain management in the African upstream oil and gas sector, and how are these innovations reducing costs and improving efficiency?
How can digital solutions such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) optimize supply chain operations in the African upstream oil and gas industry? What are the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting these technologies?
How can logistics companies optimize supply-chain operations to help reduce costs while ensuring timely and efficient project execution?
What are the key infrastructure requirements that need to be developed or enhanced across Africa to support more robust and scalable logistics operations across the oil & gas sector?
