I have some questions related to the field of piping. Anything you can answer would be greatly appreciated!
What is the difference between a service company and an Operating company? What is a Pipeline Operator, Oil and Gas Operator? Why do large operators go to larger service companies? In what phase in Exploration and Production do pipers play a part? How does downstream play a role for pipers? Why is downstream more stable than upstream? What are some common operating companies for the E&P, Pipeline, and Downstream sector? What is the purpose of a supplier? Thanks in advance!
