About the Study

4

April 2015

• The PwC Upstream Procurement/Supply Chain Management (PSCM) benchmarking study is the first PSCM study in the US to focus solely on the E&P sector. PwC is also the first to offer the study from a global perspective, with separate but closely related studies launched in Canada, UK, Norway, and the Middle East. Taken together, these studies will ultimately provide both a regional and a global view of upstream supply chain performance.

• Launched in June 2014, the PwC study employed both a quantitative survey (administered via an online data collection tool) and significant qualitative analysis, including clarification and validation of survey data and 20 in-depth interviews with supply chain leaders and their teams. The interviews aimed to obtain a deeper understanding of approaches, practices, challenges, and solutions in upstream procurement/supply chain management.

• The 2014 edition of the study included 21 participants from a wide range of operation sizes (from 11,000 to 800,000+ BOED) and business models (e.g., conventional/unconventional, onshore/offshore).

• The study objective was to provide insight on trends, maturity and performance of the supply chain across the industry and for each participant.

Key Findings

8

April 2015

Based on data and interviews

• Resource play impact. The focus on resource play (unconventional) development has in many cases forced companies to dramatically change approaches to supply chain management in order to be more nimble. In practice this has meant: (a) pushing procurement decisions closer to the assets and integrating (even co-locating) PSCM resources with asset-based experts; (b) rethinking supply models and working with key suppliers to drive cost efficiencies and greater supply certainty; (c) a renewed focus on minimizing inventory to the extent possible; and (d) the use of blanket or contract purchase agreements (not necessarily POs) where possible.

• Center-led model. Successful organizations are generally moving toward hybrid organizational models, with careful scrutiny given to the areas that should be centralized.

• Greater use of strategic sourcing and category management. Leading PSCM organizations have recognized the short- and long-run value of applying category management and strategic sourcing.

• Executive support for PSCM. Senior leadership support is essential for promoting the value of procurement and supply chain expertise across the businesses.

April 2015

Based on data and interviews

• Standardization. Most organizations have struggled to establish standard processes and policies across regions. Leading PSCM organizations have demonstrated the value of their services (beyond cost savings) to often-skeptical region leaders.

• Talent Development. Top performers have recognized the need to devote resources to internships, rotational programs, skills assessments, and training—in short, to develop the PSCM organization of the future.

• Materials management. The pace and volume of resource plays and the tremendous growth of the sector have highlighted the challenge of material forecasting. Companies are just beginning to address the challenge of surplus material, and more generally of developing investment recovery processes.

• Leveraging technology. Many participants have systems that are not being fully leveraged for greater automation of purchasing/requisition processes. Others have systems with significant limitations or use Excel or manual methods for specific areas (e.g., material transfers).

• Investing in data/analytics. Most participants recognize the importance and power of data analysis, especially spend analytics. But in order to leverage data, their data capture, cleansing, storage, and reporting processes need substantial improvements.

For Hybrid models, work that is centralized is generally around financially critical standards, processes, or procedures. Some are also seeing value in centralizing sourcing/ category management to take advantage of geographic scale. Yet many independents have a culture of business unit autonomy that makes it difficult for a center-led PSCM to “sell” its services. In some cases, the layer handled

by the center is too thin for the supply chain organization to be effective in providing the expertise, visibility and accountability necessary for procurement excellence.

Impact of Resource Plays on E&P Supply Chains

13

February 2015

Nimbleness required by unconventional plays has led to strategic changes in SCM for many

Resource play environment vs. conventional

• Much faster drilling cycle time

• Plans are malleable and change often

• Processes run in parallel

• Integrated, cross-functional teams used to minimize downtime

• Drilling activity drives high transaction volume

• Steep production decline curves drive more drilling activity

Greater use of blanket agreements

• Creation of standard (blanket or contract) agreements where possible, in lieu of traditional POs

• To mitigate risk, contracts must be clear and explicit

Proximity to asset

• Procurement decisions pushed closer to the assets

• PSCM resources integrated with asset-based experts and even co-located with them according to category (e.g., drilling)

Minimization of inventory

• Conventional methods applied to resource plays resulted in tremendous surplus, high inventory levels

• Vendor-managed or consignment-based inventory now common – pay for it when used

Altering supply models

• Working with key suppliers to drive cost efficiencies and greater supply certainty

• Buying equipment vs. leasing it or vertically integrating to operate divisions that perform selected services.

E&P Supply Chain

Performance

Shift from acquisition toward development puts

a premium on execution and

operations excellence

Bringing Supply Chain best practices from outside industry

• Resource play environment shares similarities with manufacturing/automotive

• Value in bringing outside best practices into industry, often through hiring

Strategic sourcing event: A formal event in which a buyer engages the supply market with an offer to bid on a given scope of work and/or material or equipment specifications with defined bid due dates, evaluates and negotiates bids with potential suppliers, and then awards the contract to a supplier or suppliers.

Spend Analytics

April 2015

About 53 percent of participants conducted spend analyses in last 24 months. Those companies had greater PSCM efficiency than their counterparts.

Most participants recognize the importance and power of spend analytics. To leverage that power, their data capture, cleansing, storage, and reporting processes need substantial improvements.

Spend analytics can not only lead to savings, it can also help companies improve processes, better manage supplier relationships, and better manage risk.
