The authors investigate how artificial intelligence modifies a huge piece of the energy area,
the oil and gas industry. This paper attempts to evaluate technical and non-technical factors …

Olefins production plants are large-scale plants, in most of which gaseous and liquid
hydrocarbons are cracked to produce light olefins. The complex and large-scale nature of …

A mixed integer linear programming formulation is proposed for the simultaneous design of
network and fleet deployment of a deep-sea liner service provider. The underlying network …

The pooling problem, an optimization challenge of maximizing profit subject product
availability, storage capacity, demand, and product specification constraints, has …

Many practical problems of interest in chemical engineering and other fields can be
formulated as bilinear programs (BLPs). For such problems, a local nonlinear programming …

Pipeline systems play a key role in the petroleum business. These operational systems
provide connection between ports and/or oil fields and refineries (upstream), as well as …

Within the oil supply chain, although refinery operations are extensively studied, distribution
center operations are not being explored to their full potential. In this paper, these types of …

The optimal scheduling of crude-oil operations in refineries has been studied by various
groups during the past decade leading to different mixed integer linear programming (MILP) …

This paper focuses on the problem of crude oil operations scheduling carried out in a system
composed of a refinery and a marine terminal, considering uncertainty in the arrival date of …

Scheduling of crude oil operations is a critical and complicated component of overall refinery
operations, because crude oil costs account for about 80% of the refinery turnover …
