As the owner of a chemical distribution company servicing the oil and gas sector, I’ve seen firsthand just how much the landscape has shifted in 2025. Navigating volatile markets, complex tariffs, and the persistent need for operational efficiency requires not just a strong supply chain—but partners that are agile, reliable, and deeply committed to their customers.
Oil & Gas in 2025: Change Is the Constant
The oil and gas industry today operates in a climate of price fluctuations and regulatory uncertainty. This year, we’ve watched oil prices settle between $70-$80 per barrel, while projections warn of further potential shocks driven by geopolitics and evolving OPEC+ policies. On the production side, the U.S. continues to break records, but this very growth puts downward pressure on prices, challenging everyone in the value chain to do more with less.
At the same time, cost management is front and center. Regulatory pressures are rising, especially with tariffs on essential inputs like steel and aluminum now adding a 25-50% cost overhead—sometimes increasing drilled well expenses by $1-2 million. For many of our manufacturing clients, these new realities mean every dollar counts, and every supply partnership matters.
Tariffs & Supply Chain Disruptions: Turning Pain Into Opportunity
The industry is feeling the pinch of tariffs and trade disputes. From the expanded Section 232 tariffs affecting raw materials to shifting rules on international trade, the total landed cost for oil and gas projects keeps rising. For manufacturers and processors, unexpected cost increases and uncertain lead times put real pressure on production continuity.
That’s where our company steps in. We don’t just distribute chemicals—we engineer custom solutions. By offering custom orders and specialty chemicals, we help you secure exactly what your operation needs, whether that’s a unique blend to meet regulatory specs or a tailored packaging solution to align with on-site storage limitations.
Why Custom Delivery Schedules Solve “Just In Time” Problems
Logistics are often the hidden battle in chemical supply—especially for companies with limited space or tight safety restrictions regarding hazardous materials. “Just in Time” ordering sounds efficient, but supply chain hiccups and market disruptions make it risky and costly. That’s why we’ve developed custom delivery schedules specifically for our oil and gas customers.
With our custom schedules, you can:
- Secure bulk pricing—get the best rates without overstocking
- Keep production running—never fear downtime from out-of-stock chemicals
- Minimize storage stress—receive product in sizes and intervals that fit your site and compliance needs
- Reduce liability—lower on-site hazardous material volumes
This flexibility means you’re not forced to gamble with “Just in Time” or pay for unnecessary warehouse space—all while ensuring compliance and production continuity.
Our Commitment: Quality, Reliability, & Partnership
Our promise is simple: to be a trusted source in a volatile industry. We believe reliability is more than hitting a delivery target—it’s about transparency, clear communication, and always being prepared to adapt as your needs evolve. That means:
- Rigorous quality control for all raw and specialty chemicals
- Responsive account management with real human expertise
- Custom ordering—from blends to delivery frequency to one-off emergencies
- Proactive market monitoring to help shield you from price volatility and supply risk
