The role of people logistics in oil and gas projects

in Oil and Gas / by dnsadmin

Efficient and effective logistics is vital to large Oil & Gas projects – equipment must be transported to work sites and raw products need to be processed and then delivered to customers, often using multiple modes of transport in a complex supply chain. In addition to this complexity, another important part of the overall logistics problem is people logistics – How do we move personnel to and from a worksite both safely and efficiently?

Why should I invest in personnel?

Particularly in Australia, where many work sites exist in remote areas, it is not always feasible to relocate employees and their families to a town near the work site. As a result, many workforce personnel are employed on a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) or bus-in bus-out (BIBO) basis, where the employer is responsible for moving personnel to and from the work site.

A 2013 report from Ernst & Young indicated that human capital deficit is one of the top ten risks facing the global Oil & Gas industry, affirming that

as the sector develops technologically . . . companies that can retain and mobilize people will be able to sustain their competitive advantage.

Effective and efficient personnel mobilization is crucial to any significant oil and gas project. Research published in 2012 by the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG) into the prevalence of FIFO in Australia predicts that percentage of Australian mining sector jobs filled by FIFO roles will only increase over the coming years.

Improper workforce utilisation increases susceptibility to many internal and external issues, such as: a high employee turnover, high ongoing operational costs to the business, and under- or over-allocation of staff to specific jobs.

Analytics to cut through complexity

People logistics for a large project requires the coordination of travel and accommodation for hundreds, sometimes thousands of people in various remote locations. As with traditional logistics, several crucial decisions have to be made including BIBO vs FIFO, choice of airports or bus routes and staff roster schedules. In addition to this complexity, working with personnel often requires much greater scrutiny – we don’t always require a minimal-cost solution – we need to balance cost, project risk, employee safety and employee satisfaction.

Trying to weigh up all these variables and make decisions in an intelligent way for all of the personnel involved in a project very quickly becomes complex. A 2014 interview by Mining Australia notes that “for many companies [workforce management] is manual, or only semi-automated, which increases the risk of error or processing inefficiencies, increasing costs”. Managing a large workforce is difficult, and only with the right technology can companies provide efficient and effective workforce management.

Through analytics companies can cut through the complexity involved in workforce management. By considering specific variables and how they affect outcomes companies can make better decisions.

Analytics empowers organisations through quantitative justification so that decision makers can be certain that employees will be spending less time in transit, and working on the right jobs at the right times, with the right people.

Hey everyone,

Hey everyone, I've been diving into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s way more exciting than I expected. At first, I was honestly suspicious. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your money, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a legit casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just walk away. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses. Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: <a href="http://79bo2.com/space-uid-1150120.html">http://79bo2.com/space-uid-1150120.html</a> What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just shouting into the void — yeah, not worth it. Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just chase bonuses. It’s smarter to go for reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver. Just keep your head on, know your limits, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a trustworthy place to play. If you’ve got your own recommendations or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff. Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??

Hey everyone, I've been exploring the world of virtual casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after testing the waters (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a legit casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **licenses matter**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses. Now, let me share a site I’ve been playing on these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super clean. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Wild*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: <a href="https://oke.zone/profile.php?id=477171">https://oke.zone/profile.php?id=477171</a> What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like no time. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, hard pass. Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some awesome ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to get fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t.
