Abstract
This study focused on assessing the effect of supply chain operational competency of oil and gas firms operating in Nigeria. The study adopted the mixed methods approach where quantitative and qualitative methods (survey and interview) were used in order to enhance greater validity of the resear quantitative research, copies of structured questionnaire were distributed to 350 employees of the selected firms, while 30 respondents were interviewed for the qualitative research. Based on the results of the regression and thematic analyses, findings show that supply chain improvement does have a significant effect on the operational competencies of firms. It is thus recommended that oil and gas firms take into cognisance the benefits accruable when they reduce production and operation costs by investing in socially and environmentally responsible relationships with their local suppliers
