Running an international business, of any nature, is not an easily accomplished task. However, the oil, gas, and mining industry paints a different picture altogether. Not only are the operations international in nature and require the understanding of the dynamics of all countries involved, they also include a wide variety of distinct, yet interrelated functions that need to coordinate optimally to keep the business running like a well-oiled machine. Due to a combination of all these variables, conducting successful oil, gas, and mining operations is no less than a Herculean task.
The need for specialist services
To run a vast network of an assortment of complex tasks, it is only fair that the oil, gas, and mining industry should require the need of specialist services. They need to seek specialist services that are not only capable but the right ones – uniquely placed to meet their requirements.
Although some business owners and heads of corporations have the ability to successfully manage all aspects of the business, one at a time, the right support facilities can enable them to focus more on the most crucial aspect: production. We, at Rowe SMG, have identified three key areas where the natural resources industry is majorly in need of specialist services. These are:
1. Local content
The discovery of newer sources of oil, gas, and minerals and the increasing international shift towards sustainability has pushed local content to the forefront. The development of local content policies and strategies for oil and gas companies is ever more important. It is in this area that Rowe SMG can constructively contribute to your organization by working with procurement teams, local businesses, and chambers of commerce to help design well-equipped local content strategies.
2. Supply chain
Due to the current drop in oil prices, the industry has begun to comprehensively reevaluate the understanding of supply chain structures. There are various strategies to optimize supply chain mechanisms to add value to your organization. Rowe SMG can help your company identify, validate, and execute these strategies.
3. Tendering services
The approach to better secure tenders and bids is one of the most neglected areas in any organizations’ business plans. Many do not realize the dynamic role such strategies play in the maximization of value. Rowe SMG has years of experience in working with organizations to improve their approach to, and understanding of, the tendering process. We can create tools and templates for successful tender writing so that your organization is better positioned to secure contracts and expand business.
