Pipeline Logistics Operations
Course Overview
This two-day virtual programme focuses on the logistics of pipeline operations and downstream fuel distribution across African markets. Pipelines are critical infrastructure for moving petroleum products efficiently across the continent, and their logistics management requires specialised knowledge of operations, maintenance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Participants will learn about pipeline network management, bulk fuel storage at tank farms, the operational logistics of pipeline scheduling, and the interface between pipeline transport and road tanker distribution networks. The programme covers both crude oil and refined product pipelines with case studies from South African and regional pipeline operations.
Designed for logistics professionals working in the downstream petroleum sector, pipeline operating companies, fuel distributors, and companies involved in bulk fuel logistics across Africa.
