Introduction GASCO, also known as the Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Limited, is a large natural gas company which is has its headquarters in the industrial complex in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. Started in the year 1978 through a partnership of Total, ADNOC, Partex, and Shell, GASCO was specifically developed to help the three companies extract onshore natural gas production. The firm identified four plants where gas was to be extracted. The four plants are closely managed by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company which has other plants within the country. These four plants were strategically located in the desert and had the capacity to produce enough gas for commercialization. After extraction, the natural gas, in liquid form, is transported to Ruwais Fractionation Plant in Abu Dhabi where they are treated and then fractionated into different products. Propane, Paraffinic naphtha, Ethane, and Butane, are some of the main products out of the fractional distillation process. The Abu Dhabi Polymers Company is responsible for the exportation of ethane and propane to different global markets, while paraffinic naphtha and butane are directly exported to the global market. According to Schneider (87), one of the biggest challenges that many of the companies in the oil industry face is the dangers associated with transporting their products to the market. The supply chain in this industry is always shaky, and it requires advanced mechanisms and use of modern technologies in order to achieve the desired success. This is what has been affecting GASCO as it struggles to become one of the leading companies in the world. With the management emphasizing on creativity and innovation in this industry, it is set to offer serious competition to the top companies in this industry such as Gazprom of Russia. It is clear that this firm needs an effective operational management in order to be able to meet the expectations of various stakeholders. Upon extraction of the raw products from the onshore sources, they are always transported to Ruwais NGL Fractionation Plant where the processing takes place. With a processing capacity of 17 million metric tons in a year, the operational strategies at this plant must be at its top notch to ensure that every stage in the processes is a success. Currently, the firm has four fractionation trains, a loading jetty, and storage tanks to ensure that the supply chain at this plant is successfully managed. The figure below shows GASCO plants and products overview. Plant overview GASCO was founded on December 1978 by four companies that shared a common vision in the market. Shell, Total, ADNOC, and Partex agreed to come together to form this company as a way of boosting their capacity in the production of gas. ADNOC had the largest share in the partnership of 68%. Shell and Total had a share of 15% each, while Partex was the junior shareholder with about 2% of the market share. The four companies committed financial resources and with the help of the government of Abu Dhabi, GESCO was founded. The new company was getting into a field that already had strong competitors such as Gazprom, and this meant that to be successful, it had to align its operational
