Period: October 2018 – May 2019
Industry sector: Oil and Gas
Client / Partner: Gazprom Neft / BRIGHT Group
| Project objective |
- Development of the system of materials and hydrocarbon shipment planning and modeling for offshore sea production and exploration drilling
|
|
Our scope of work
|
- Development of the prototype tool for the logistics modeling system
- Development of the simulation model on the AnyLogic platform
- Verification and validation of the simulation model in cooperation with client’s team
|
|
System inputs
|
- Information about capacity and transportation speed of vessels
- Routes of shipment
- Requirements for the modes of emergency rescue watch by the platforms
- Schedules of hydrocarbon production and transportation
- Schedules of platforms supply with materials and removal of waste
- Weather forecasts, ice conditions and other factors affecting the duration of vessel shifting, loading and unloading operations by the platforms

|
Structure elements of the system
|
- Input data file of scenario in MS Excel format
- Simulation model with interactive presentation
- Data aggregation module that allows to generate MS Excel files with the simulation results
|
|
System outputs
|
- Timeliness of support facilities supply with materials and personnel and shipment of produced hydrocarbon
- Average and peak capacity utilization of materials and hydrocarbon storage locations on the platforms
- Average and peak capacity utilization of vessel
- Average and peak number of used transportation units
- Transportation time utilization
