The Application of Linear Programming to Integrated Supply Problems in the Oil Industry

Pages 161-169 | Published online: 19 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

The supply problem of an integrated oil company comprises the allocation of crude oils to refineries, the calculation of refinery programmes and the transportation of finished products to the market. Formulated in terms of mathematical programming, the problem presents some interesting features from the mathematical viewpoint, but these are dwarfed by problems arising from the sheer size of the model.
