Abstract

The oil and gas supply chain (OGSC) significantly impacts numerous operations in multiple industries. However, lately, it encountered myriad disruptions like global oil supply and demand mismatch due to COVID-19. Therefore, the case studies the oil and gas supply chain in Egypt during COVID-19 as Egypt is Africa's largest oil exporter outside of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the continent's third-largest natural gas exporter, and its economy is heavily reliant on the oil industry. The unique organizational structure that makes up the OGSC in Egypt is fully controlled by the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum, which deals with all the disruptions that occur in the Egyptian petroleum sector differently. The case investigates the disruptions that OGSC faced in Egypt due to the pandemic and provides researchers with an understanding of the challenges in the sector and the proposed solutions by the sector in Egypt, in addition to the recommendations provided by experts in the sector.
