Crude Oil Procurement Intelligence

The crude oil category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.42% from 2023 to 2030. APAC accounts for the largest share of the category. The rising energy demand across the world, as well as the adoption of unconventional exploration and production technology, are driving category growth. Major corporations are employing a variety of strategies, such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships and contracts, and the development, testing, and release of new products. For instance, In July 2023, Aramco completed a USD 3.4 billion transaction to purchase a 10% stake in Rongsheng Petrochemical Co. Ltd. through its Dutch subsidiary Aramco Overseas Company BV. Under this deal, the company will be able to deliver 480,000 barrels per day of crude oil to Zhejiang Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd (ZPC) in a long-term sale agreement.

To communicate between various machinery equipment engaged during crude oil production, artificial intelligence (Al) is applied. It is also used to power the many machines and automobiles required for crude oil production. Companies are also taking advantage of the IoT by running hardware and other operating devices through the internet and connected gadgets.

• In June 2023, ExxonMobil entered a 5 MTA carbon capture agreement with Nucor Corporation. ExxonMobil will capture, transport, and deposit over 800,000 metric tons of CO2 per year from Nucor's Convent manufacturing plant in Louisiana.
• In October 2022, Aramco and IBM unveiled exploratory intentions for a strategic collaboration to address industry challenges including circular economy, material discovery, and sustainability by developing Riyadh Innovation Hub. IBM and Aramco want to work together to find potential for using technology to address supply chain efficiency and resiliency issues, such as giving improved visibility and transparency across the supply chain.
• In July 2022, Shell USA, Inc. and Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. (SHLX) announced the execution of a final agreement and merger plan under which Shell USA will purchase all of the shared units representing minority partner interests in SHLX held by the general public. This merger gave Shell access to transport infrastructure including pipelines for crude and refined petroleum products to serve the US gulf coast and Midwest refining regions.
