Managing our supply chain is one of the most important issues to sustain an efficient drilling operation. Failure to manage the supply chain has severe ramifications for us and our operators and makes all the difference in efficiency and profits. Issues such as NPTs or drilling days pending on mud system arrival are expensive consequences to deal with and such issues are prevented through our systematic approach to supply chain management. We use SharePoint solutions to integrate the entire chain under one umbrella. This systematic method provides high transparency and traceability which is used to monitor and enhance our supply chain.
We have created strong ethical relations with our suppliers and logistic companies making sure they comprehend and adhere to our standards. Our suppliers are clearly informed of our policies and we evaluate them on a dynamic basis via supplier questionnaires and visits with the help of our HSE & QA programs.
Logistic companies are in place which have been trained to check the quality of packaging/labelling conditions before loading our goods at the supplier’s warehouse. Furthermore, before entering our warehouses, our Quality Assurance team checks the goods by filling our incoming material checklist form. If our base managers sense poor conditioned materials, the goods are immediately returned to our suppliers without entering our warehouses and an NCR (non-conformity report) will be generated to convey valuable feedback to our vendors to aid them improve their conditions.
For more details on NCR (Non Conformity Report), please refer to QHSE section of our website.
To support our supply chain activities, the following facilities are in place:
Equipment and facilities in Ahwaz base (onshore):
Equipment and facilities in Kish base (offshore):
-Strategic warehouse number 1- 1250 square meter
-Strategic warehouse number 2- 800 square meter
-Complete system for stocking Barite and Bentonite in bulk (bulk plant) with the capacity of 400 Mt
-Fully-equipped professional drilling fluids laboratory for quality control
The following methods are used to establish Supply Chain Management:
To conclude, at PDF we recognize the importance of supply chain management to support our drilling activities and our goal is continuous improvement which is sustainable throughout the entire supply chain.
