    Resilience to supply chain disruptions is based on strategic diversification of suppliers and supply routes, and optimised inventory management. These approaches minimise the risks associated with geographical concentration of supply sources and ensure operational continuity in the event of geopolitical or logistical hazards. In addition, integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and predictive analysis, enables us to anticipate risks more effectively and act in real time to rapidly adjust logistics flows. Closed collaboration with stakeholders and diversified energy sources, backed up by proactive risk management and technological adaptability, is essential to ensure resilience in face of global uncertainties.

    To address supply chain disruptions in oil and gas, innovative strategies include implementing blockchain for secure tracking and establishing decentralized procurement hubs to reduce reliance on global suppliers. Forming alliances with startups for agile solutions and collaborating with competitors to share resources can enhance resilience. Utilizing predictive maintenance tools to prevent equipment failures and using AI for localized demand forecasts optimize operations. Additionally, conducting independent resilience audits helps uncover hidden vulnerabilities and strengthens overall supply chain stability.
