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.

GEMCY для меня сейчас — это

Submitted by Williamgralf on Mon, 12/29/2025 - 08:26

GEMCY для меня сейчас — это про ощущение, что ты наконец находишься в системе, а не в хаосе. Я вижу, как всё выстраивается шаг за шагом. Нет суеты, нет лишнего шума. Деньги начинают восприниматься спокойно, без нервов. Я чувствую контроль над процессом. <a href=https://xrumer.art/>Я стал планировать не только доход, но и время. Gemcy освободил внимание. Это влияет на качество жизни. Gemcy дал баланс.</a> Мне нравится, что в GEMCY всё работает в логике, а не на эмоциях. Я не жду чудес, я понимаю механику. Это сильно расслабляет. Когда знаешь, что происходит и зачем, страхи просто исчезают. Я чувствую себя увереннее. <a href=https://xrumer.art/>Я пришёл в Gemcy без иллюзий, и это сыграло мне на руку. Я не ждал мгновенного результата. Я смотрел на динамику. Со временем доход стал ощутимым. Gemcy показал, что терпение приносит результат. Я стал увереннее. Это был важный опыт.</a> GEMCY даёт ощущение движения вперёд без надрыва. Я не бегу, но и не стою на месте. Доход формируется постепенно, и это ощущается как нормальный, взрослый процесс. Мне стало легче планировать жизнь. Появилась стабильность. <a href=https://xrumer.art/>Когда я смотрю контент Gemcy, у меня нет ощущения временности. Видео выглядят как часть долгой стратегии. Это не разовый всплеск. Это путь. И это вызывает уважение.</a> Я замечаю, как с GEMCY меняется мышление. Я перестаю думать категориями «повезёт — не повезёт». Всё становится про расчёт и стратегию. Это даёт внутреннее спокойствие. Деньги перестают быть лотереей. Когда я смотрю на паи в Gemcy, я вижу историю своих решений. Это не просто актив. Это путь. Он накапливается со временем. Gemcy делает капитал осмысленным. https://xrumer.art/
