Hi there,

I'm happy to help as I literally worked on an O&G value-chain intergration project in APAC  a couple of years back.

The main problem is that multiple business units (upstream, midstream, and downstream) all individually optimize their own operations to the potential detriment of the business as a whole.

The objective og value chain integration in O&A is align incentives/KPIs etc. so that each part of the body is operating effectively together. I.e., upstream may make a decision that's slightly less beneficial for them (lose 1$ per unit) that is great for the business (make $10 per unit).

Very very tough to accomplish and requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of O&G and the dozens of important metrics that O&G firms need to worry about to make profits!

Hey, would be better if you post more details here for better advice. My intial thoughts are these:

  1. Value chain for a company basically is how the raw material becomes the final product and gets delivered to the customer. So in case of O&G a simplified chain could be:  Drilling->Production->Processing->Refining-> Product Storage->Distrbution. There will be slight difference depending on Oil or Gas value chain and the end products will be different too. 
  2. Integration is all about driving efficiencies, breaking silos and establishing collaboration in process, tools/technology and people in the value chain. The whole thing hangs together by measuring & reporting right KPIs across the value chain.

Not sure if that helps?! Feel free to send me personal message and we can discuss further.
