Optimal Downstream Oil Supply Chain: Examples and Methods

 

This one-day course addresses decision support topics under the scope of downstream oil supply chain, namely at the operational level. Three different problems will be presented. The computational workshop will focus on implementing and studying a toy example for one of the problems presented.

We will take an overview of the downstream oil supply chain and then focus in specific problems:

1) Secondary distribution planning: overview of problem characteristics. Portuguese case study, where we aim at minimizing costs of short-term distribution planning in a system involving distribution centers supply to local petrol stations. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed.

 

2) Pipeline Scheduling: overview of problem characteristics. Portuguese case study, where the system is formed by a multiproduct pipeline connecting a refinery to a distribution center. The objective is to obtain optimized pipeline schedules and optimal storage strategies at the distribution center. Two models are proposed considers a continuous time and volume representations leading to a MILP.

 

3) Inventory Management at Distribution Centers: overview of problem characteristics. Portuguese case study where tank farm storage strategies are modeled and optimized through the definition of individual tank operational cycles, providing rotation schemes for product reception and delivery to local market. The problem is formulated as a MILP.

 

Along the seminar, data and results from Portuguese Companies will be presented. Company support is relevant as problem providers and result validation and discussion. The problems here presented will motivate the practical lesson.
