Natural gas consumption usually has the characteristics of seasonal fluctuations. Some countries have experienced gas shortages in recent years due to the imbalance between supply and demand, especially in winter or peak gas consumption periods.…
The crude palm oil industry is an agro-industrial commodity. The global market of this industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, such that it has a strategic value to be developed for Indonesian economy. Despite these economic benefits…
The rapid expansion of production of North American petroleum crude oil from shale has led to a significant increase in rail transport of crude oil. Broken rails are frequent causes of train accidents. Ultrasonic rail defect inspection is widely used…
Taking into consideration both shipping and pipeline transport, this paper first analysed the risk factors for different modes of crude oil import transportation. Then, based on the minimum of both transportation cost and overall risk, a…
One of the current prospective solutions that can contribute to significant carbon dioxide emission mitigation is carbon capture and storage in geological formations. The most challenging issue in underground storage is the provision of safe and…
Energy consumption plays a dominant role in the technical and economic indicators of pipeline operation, and is greatly influenced by operation schemes. However, the conventional energy consumption model is often analyzed from the perspective of…
In summer, the coastal areas of southern Iran suffer from the freshwater shortage and electricity instability. Meanwhile, this region benefits from the high intensity of solar radiation and the huge potential of brackish water resources. Hence, this…
Planning of an islanded hybrid system (IHS) with different sources and storages to supply clean, flexible, and highly reliable energy at consumption sites is of high importance. To this end, this paper presents the design of an IHS with a wind…
Though the potential scope of multi-objective genetic algorithm in the field of secondary steel making (SSM) is enormous, the useful utilization of such evolutionary techniques in secondary steel making process is yet to be done. In this work, data…
In the petroleum refining industries, the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process is one of the most common techniques for purifying petroleum products from undesirable sulfur species to reduce SO2 emission. However, HDS is still complicated as many…
Based on the research of other major foreign petroleum companies management process and evaluating the characteristics of operation for overseas petroleum projects, the portfolio optimization workflow for overseas petroleum investment was established
Multiobjective optimization (MOO) techniques are of much interest with their applications to petroleum refinery catalytic processes for finding optimal solutions in the midst of conflicting objectives. The rationale behind using MOO is that if…
This paper presents an extension of the RMFinder technique, previously proposed for scenario reduction within the decision-making process in oil fields. As there are several uncertainties associated with this process, a large number of scenarios…
