Overview

Today’s oil companies are dealing with ever-increasing levels of complexity and competition. The drop in the price of oil impacts negatively on the Upstream but enhances the profitability of downstream operations as Refinery margins improve with cheaper feedstock. Furthermore, the integration of refining and petrochemicals to achieve greater efficiencies is yet another critical factor in the business. Managing integrated Upstream and Downstream with refining, petrochemicals, and trading of oil requires several cross-functional skills.
