In the literature, optimization models deal with planning and scheduling of several subsystems of the petroleum supply chain such as oilfield infrastructure, crude oil supply, refinery operations and product transportation. The focus of the present work is to propose a general framework for modeling petroleum supply chains. As a starting point, processing units are modeled based on the framewor...

This research presents a model for optimal allocation of Iranian oil and gas resources in sanction condition based on stochastic linear multi-objective programming. The general policies of the resistive economy include expanding exports of gas, electricity, petrochemical and petroleum products, expanding the strategic oil and gas reserves, increasing added value through completing the petroleum...

Unpublished AIChE shall not be responsible for statements or opinions contained in papers or printed in its publications ABSTRACT The refinery business involves tasks spanning across several departments and using large amounts of data. These processes include crude procurement, logistics scheduling, storage (tank) scheduling and crude scheduling. Integrated decisions based on the entire supply ...

as a result of higher crude oil prices, in one hand, it is expected that alternative energy resources consumption is increased and consumers change their behavior to decline energy intensity too. on the other hand, more alternative energy consumption can leads to a decline of crude oil aggregate demand. therefore, existence of mutual causality between crude oil price and alternative energy cons...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...

Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...

In this paper the relationships between crude oil and refined product prices are investigated in a multivariate framework. This allows us to test several (partly competing) assumptions of earlier studies. In particular, we find that the crude oil price is weakly exogenous and that the spread is constant in some but not all relationships. Moreover, the multivariate analysis shows that the link b...

Kazakhstan has secured approval from Moscow to use its pipeline infrastructure in order transport 300,000 tons of oil Germany the first quarter 2023, a state-run company (Kaztransoil) announced on January 13, 2023. Deliveries January, 2023 amounted 20,000 tons. plans export up 1.5 million via Russia but future, volume could be increased 7 As for now, transportation through seems more beneficial...

Disruption on a supply chain provokes lost that should be minimized looking for alternative suppliers. This solution involves a strategy to manage the impact of the disruption and thus to recuperate the supply chain. Difficulty of the management is the diversity of involved factors such that turns complex to provide or choice a solution among the possible ones. Depending on the objective(s) to ...

According to International Energy Outlook 2007 the total world demand of energy is projected to increase through 2030 about 95% for the non-OECD region and 24% for OECD nations. Crude oil is one of the most critical energy commodities while with coal and natural gas are projected to provide roughly the 86% share of the total US primary energy supply in 2030. In this paper, we use wavelet neural...
