Configuration Of Logistics Supply Chains In Oil And Gas Industry In Russia

Abstract

The article studies the possibilities of the use of logistic tools in the design of modern distribution systems in oil and gas industry. The prospects of the adaption of the scientific and practical aspects of the supply chain management concept to current trends in the development of the Russian oil and gas industry are examined, and the prospects for their application in the framework of the Russian oil and gas company Gazprom Neft are evaluated. It is shown that there is a connection between the existing configuration forms of logistics flows due to the emergence of digital-type logistics systems. The new digital format of logistics systems is a combination of communication links between partners within the framework of platforms with diverse, overlapping and simultaneously coexisting equal elements. They had no analogues in the context of the internal heterogeneity, volume and complexity of the interconnections of elements in the previous experience in the creation of logistics systems. The priority in logistics activities is acceleration, mobility and flexibility of product distribution, the possibility of end-to-end management of the entire value chain and the monitoring of controlled performance indicators online. It is concluded that the configuration of logistics systems in oil and gas industry is aimed at the intensification of the integration interactions of partners in the supply chain. The hypothesis is confirmed that the stability of geographically fragmented elements of the links of the digital logistics system is limited by the strength of its weakest link.
