Pipelines are the safest and least expensive mode for transporting energy products over long distances. Refined products pipelines convey multiple oil derivatives from refineries to marketing terminals, usually through the ...

The management of oil-product pipelines represents a critical task in the daily operation of petroleum supply chains. Efficient computational tools are needed to perform this activity in a reliable and cost-effective manner. ...

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a transmission pipeline carrying several petroleum products from a single oil refinery to a unique distribution center over a monthly horizon. The proposed approach is based ...

A new rule prioritizing product delivery to the eligible terminal closest to the one being currently served reduces total accumulated idle volume by about 40% and decreases the number of cut operations. Different priority ...

Pipeline networks are the shippers? first choice for carrying large volumes of refined petroleum products from oil refineries to distant distribution terminals. Optimization approaches for solving the pipeline scheduling ...

A tank farm or oil depot is a facility where petroleum products are stored prior to distribution to consumers or retail facilities. One such place in Trinidad is at Pointe-a-Pierre. In the photograph are four large oil ...

Pipelines constitute the dominant inland transportation mode for crude oil and oil products. Lots of refined products such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are shipped from refineries and seaports to truck-loading terminals ...

Primary oil and gas pipelines are a critical supply chain link between the production areas and the refineries or fractioning plants, respectively. They require huge capital investments and expertise in design, construction, ...
