Abstract

The offshore oil production requires a huge amount of cost and time accompanied by multiple variables due to the peculiar nature of 'offshore'. And every process concerned is controlled by elaborate series of plans for reducing loss of lives, environment and property. This paper treats an optimization problem for offshore oil production and transportation. We present an offshore production and transportation network to define scope of the problem and construct a mixed integer linear programming model to tackle it. To demonstrate the validity of the optimization model presented, some computational experiments based on hypothetical offshore oil fields and demand markets are carried out by using MS Office Excel solver. The downstream of the offshore production and transportation network ends up with the maritime transportation problem distributing the crude oil produced from offshore fields to demand markets. We used MoDiSS(Model-based DSS in Ship Scheduling) which was built to resolve this maritime transportation problem. The paper concludes with the remark that the results of the study might be meaningfully applicable to the real world problems of offshore oil production and transportation.

해양 석유 생산은 '해양'이라는 특성에 기인하는 여러 가지 변수를 동반하면서 막대한 비용과 시간을 필요로 한다. 모든 관련된 프로세스는 인명, 환경 그리고 재산의 손실을 줄이기 위한 치밀한 일련의 계획에 의하여 통제된다. 이 논문은 해양 석유 생산 및 수송의 최적화 문제를 다룬다. 문제 영역의 범위를 정의하기 위해 해양 석유 생산 및 수송 네트워크를 제시하고 그 문제를 해결하기 위한 혼합정수계획모형을 구축하였다. 제안된 최적화 모형의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 가상의 해양 유전과 수요 시장을 바탕으로 MS Office Excel의 해찾기를 이용하여 계산실험들을 수행하였다. 해양 석유 생산 및 수송 네트워크 하위 흐름은 해양 유전에서 생산된 원유를 수요 시장으로 배분하는 해사수송문제가 된다. 이 해사수송문제를 해결하기 위해 집합 패킹 모형을 이용하여 구축된 MoDiSS(Model-based DSS in Ship Scheduling)를 사용하였다. 이러한 연구결과들은 실제적인 해양 석유 생산 및 수송 최적화 문제에 의미 있게 적용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
