Natural gas a political and economic agenda item, which mostly shaped foreign policies in the light of new extracting methods, newly discovered reserves and changing transportation routes. In parallel with increasing demand, rich states in gas place…
A large consumption of natural gas accompanied by reduced production capabilities makes Europe heavily dependent on imports from Russia. More than half of Russian gas is exported by transiting Ukraine, so in the context of the underlying conflict…
Transportation plays a vital role in palm oil industry supply process because it provides the opportunity to continuously create supply operational efficiency and improve supply chain performance. The objective of this paper is to optimize route…
Geodat is a project which provides computer usable cartographic data for the petroleum industry. The data is primarily medium-scale (1:100,000), and contains digitized coastline and hydrography, international and internal boundaries, primary…
The need for radical changes and measures to overcome negative trends in the provision of the population of the Russian Federation and meet the demand for bus transportation are reflected in a number of regulatory documents adopted by the Government…
The reserve of crude oil in Arctic area is abundant. Ice melting is making it possible to have intermediate access to the Arctic crude oil and its transportation. A novel compositional datas grey model is proposed in this paper to structurally…
Development of the Arctic has become the subject of intense attention due to the region's vast hydrocarbon resources. However, severe environmental conditions and large distances greatly increase the development costs. Because of this, it is crucial…
Understanding maritime network structure and traffic flow changes is a challenging task that must incorporate economic, energy, geopolitics, maritime transportation, and network sciences. Crude oil is the most imported energy in the world.…
The import and export of crude oil are vastly affected by the economy of a developing country. It can be useful for the production of petroleum products. Likewise, the developing country, India is completely relying on the import of crude oil from…
Some emerging countries, such as Brazil, have large remaining natural gas resources but relatively poor infrastructure to monetize it. When most of the natural gas extraction derives from associated gas, this results in high reinjection rates in…
In this work, modified ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)-based copolymers were synthesized by graft copolymerization of hydrophobic monomers onto commercial EVA using a low energy electron beam (EB). The mechanism of graft copolymerization was studied by…
As one of the most strategically important natural resources, crude oil can be dangerous to transport by sea. The resilience of a maritime transport network denotes the ability of the system to withstand damage and remain operational after…
The paper considers Russia's position in the system of European energy policy on the natural gas market. We have analyzed the interest in natural gas exports in the context of maintaining the energy security of EU countries, stimulating in turn the…
Global crude oil trade is a direct reflection of global economic development and can be mathematically modeled as a network with mass trajectories of crude oil vessels between ports, as well as loading and unloading volume at ports. In this study, we…

The maritime oil tanker routing and scheduling problem is known to the literature since before 1950. In the presented problem, oil tankers transport crude oil from supply points to demand locations around the globe. The objective is to find ship…

Maritime transportation, the primary mode for intercontinental movement of crude oil, accounts for 1.7billion tons annually – bulk of which are carried via a fleet of large crude oil tankers. Although spectacular episodes such as Exxon Valdez…
Oil has to be redistributed around the world because of their uneven distribution. Therefore, the method of accurately identifying and forecasting the risks of oil import has always been the focus of research. Thus, we re-examined the risk of oil…
