Introduction
India’s economic growth is closely related to its energy demand, therefore, the need for oil and gas is projected to increase in the future. When the prospects increase, so do the challenges. Oil and gas transportation through trucks poses multiple challenges that can create havoc in the oil and gas business. FleetRobo’s GPS E-lock is the one-stop solution for overcoming such challenges.
Trucks are widely utilized methods for transporting oil and gas due to their flexibility in reaching various destinations. It often serves as the final stage in the transportation process. Moreover, for rural and hinterland areas, trucking is often the primary means of accessing oil and gas resources. Any disruptions or damages to the transportation of oil and gas to these regions can have severe consequences, causing disruptions and significant financial losses for the oil and gas transportation businesses.

In India, the oil and gas sector hold a prominent position as one of the country’s eight core industries, exerting significant influence on decision-making across various vital sectors of the economy. India has emerged as the fastest-growing energy market worldwide, maintaining its status as the third-largest consumer of oil as of 2021.

What are the challenges faced by Oil and Gas shipping companies?
The volatility of spills or gas leaks
In the event of spills or leaks, petroleum shipments can have detrimental effects on human health, animals, and the environment. They possess toxicity and can lead to pollution, property damage, fear among local communities and trigger regulatory demands for environmental protection measures. Moreover, such incidents can result in significant financial costs for your oil and gas transportation business.
Vulnerable to a host of threats
Truck transportation can be costly, especially over long distances. Many regions in India lack proper infrastructure. Hence, causing delays in delivery.
Inefficient route optimization and fleet management may result in quality or quantity loss, such as oil evaporation. Any excessive delays due to repair and associated fluctuating oil prices can impact the profitability of trucking operations.
Stealing your liquid gold, a precious reward for cargo thieves
The transportation of valuable commodities like oil and gas can attract criminal activities, including theft and sabotage. Criminal activities such as hijacking or illegal tapping of trucks can result in significant financial losses.
According to the recent BSI and TT Club Cargo Theft Report 2022, fuel products account for 9% of the total theft and were one of the top five commodities being stolen around the world. Fuel produce theft also accounts for a 2% increase when compared to 2021.
Geographical Challenges of Oil and gas transportation
Transporting oil and gas across challenging terrains, such as mountainous regions or remote areas, can pose logistical difficulties and increase the risk of accidents and breakage. In such scenarios, the traditional mode of contact will not only fail but also cripple the entire delivery plan.
