Oil and Gas Supply Chain

The oil and gas supply chain moves crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and plastics feedstock from subsurface reservoirs to end consumers through an infrastructure system governed by three root constraints: geological fixity of reserves that cannot be manufactured or relocated, capital cycle lengths of five to ten years that make investment decisions effectively irreversible, and infrastructure lock-in from pipelines, refineries, and terminals that are geographically fixed and take decades to build, producing a system where supply responses lag demand signals by years and physical bottlenecks determine competitive outcomes more than pricing power.
