Oil field logistics is one of the specialized areas of logistics that deals with the planning, implementation, and control of transporting and handling the resources required to explore, extract, process, refine, and distribute oil. Oil field logistics involves moving equipment, heavy machinery, dangerous chemical products, and personnel to and from oil fields. This often includes transporting them thousands of kilometers to places that are difficult to reach. Oil field logistics requires great attention to detail, real-time monitoring, and strict compliance with guidelines and regulations regarding the safety of operations.

TruckX has products to meet the challenges of oil field logistics. For example, TruckX’s fleet management platform allows the logistics managers of the oil company to track the geographic locations of all vehicles in real-time to ensure that the equipment and material can arrive on site on time. It also includes a route optimization function, enabling the drivers and the whole fleet to move quickly and efficiently in remote and crump areas, while maximizing the efficiency and shortening the traveling distance and time.

Safety is of paramount importance in oil field logistics given that the materials being hauled are hazardous. An example is propane, a colorless and tasteless gas that is highly flammable in its liquid form. Verification and reporting of adherence to company safety standards, which the industry takes very seriously, are an integral part of the Digital Oil Field ecosystem.
