With the scaling up of crude oil scheduling in modern refineries, large-scale crude oil
scheduling problems (LSCOSPs) emerge with thousands of binary variables and non-linear …

The reception, mixture, delivery, and processing of crude oil at a refinery are modeled and
validated. We employ a continuous-time model based on priority-slots and a multi-operation …

The oil and gas industry has paid increasing attention to energy consumption and is taking
steps to reduce emissions owing to growing environmental concerns. In this study, a method …

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 …

In this paper, we present a MILP clustering formulation for tackling the operational
management of crude oil supply (OMCOS) proposed by de Assis et al.(2019). The OMCOS …

The deep-sea oil exploitation leads to the growing utilization of the Floating Production
Storage and Offloading (FPSO), where the crude oil is processed and stored until it can be …

The deployment of offshore platforms for the extraction of oil and gas from subsea reservoirs
presents unique challenges, particularly when multiple platforms are connected by a subsea …

Effective unit maintenance is critically important for the front-end crude transfer process
(FCTP) to ensure production reliability and safe operations in refineries. It should be …

Crude oil procurement and blending are key processes in refinery production. When solving
the integrated optimization problem of simple oil procurement and blending, the following …

As modern refinery crude oil scheduling scales up, traditional manual operations and
independent optimization methods struggle with complexity and dynamics. This study …
