Corporate Travel Management Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

In the energy sector, especially the oil and gas industries, managing corporate travel is a complex task. With operations often located in remote and offshore locations, companies need a travel management solution that prioritises efficiency, safety, and cost control. This is where ATPI steps in with its specialised travel management services tailored to the unique needs of the energy sector.

Key Challenges in Energy Sector Travel

The oil and gas industries pose several travel challenges that differ from other corporate sectors:

1. Remote and Offshore Locations: Crew members and corporate teams often travel to offshore rigs, oil platforms, or remote exploration sites.
2. Complex Itineraries: Travel often involves multiple legs, charter flights, and last-minute changes due to operational demands or adverse conditions.
3. Safety and Compliance: Travel in high-risk regions requires stringent safety protocols and adherence to international regulations.
4. Crew Rotations and Group Travel: Managing crew rotations and transporting large teams in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner is a major logistical challenge.

ATPI’s Solutions for the Oil and Gas Sector

ATPI, a global leader in corporate travel management, understands these unique challenges and has developed a range of products and services to support energy companies.

ATPI TravelHub

ATPI TravelHub is a comprehensive platform that centralises travel management, offering real-time updates, customisable dashboards, and integrated policy compliance. For oil and gas companies, this is particularly beneficial when managing travel for offshore and remote operations. TravelHub streamlines the travel booking process, providing real-time data on disruptions, delays, and safety concerns—critical for ensuring timely crew rotations.

Key Features:

• Centralised Travel Information: Access to itineraries, bookings, and travel policies in one place.
• Real-Time Travel Updates: Ensures immediate awareness of flight changes or emergencies.
• Global Accessibility: Designed for users who operate in remote locations, making it easy for travellers to stay updated on-the-go.

ATPI CrewHub

For oil and gas companies, managing crew travel is a logistical challenge, especially with teams coming from multiple locations globally. ATPI CrewHub provides a user-friendly platform to handle large group bookings, making it ideal for the energy sector’s crew rotations.

With CrewHub, companies can:

• Book multiple routes simultaneously for large crews.
• Streamline travel from multiple starting points, making it easier to coordinate group travel across different locations.
• Achieve cost savings by filtering flights based on price and duration, optimising both budget and efficiency.

This platform integrates seamlessly with EProfile, pulling through passenger details automatically, which simplifies the booking process and enhances data accuracy.

Risk Management and Safety

Safety is paramount in the oil and gas industries, where travel often involves high-risk regions or hazardous environments. ATPI incorporates risk management into its travel solutions, ensuring that:

• Traveller tracking allows companies to monitor their teams in real-time, ensuring they are safe and compliant with local regulations.
• Emergency response services provide immediate assistance, including evacuations or rerouting, if necessary.

This is particularly crucial for companies that frequently operate in politically unstable or geographically challenging regions, where unforeseen events can disrupt travel plans.

Cost Control and Optimisation

The volatile nature of the oil and gas industries makes cost control a priority. ATPI’s travel management platforms, such as CrewHub and TravelHub, are designed to provide full transparency over travel expenses. Companies can monitor and optimise their travel spend through:

• Advanced reporting and analytics: Offering insights into travel patterns, costs, and policy compliance.
• NDC (New Distribution Capability): Securing exclusive rates and flexible fares through data aggregation from multiple sources.

This level of control helps companies adjust travel plans dynamically, minimising costs while maintaining efficiency.

Supporting Sustainability in Energy Travel

As the energy sector transitions towards more sustainable practices, including renewable energy projects, ATPI plays a vital role in helping companies align their travel with corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. ATPI’s sustainable travel solutions focus on reducing the carbon footprint by providing:

• Green travel options: Encouraging the use of eco-friendly airlines, hotels, and transportation where available.
• Sustainability reporting: Giving companies a clear overview of their travel-related environmental impact, allowing for more informed decisions.

This is particularly beneficial for oil and gas companies making the shift towards renewable energy projects, such as offshore wind farms.
