Simulação do suprimento de fluidos para sondas de perfuração de poços de petróleo offshore

Abstract

Costs on Oil & Gas industry are usually large, especially during drilling phase. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize operations. One way to achieve this objective is through improvements on logistics and supply chain. This work makes an analysis on supply chain during offshore oil & gas exploration phase, focusing on drilling fluids supply. We show a simulation model developed, which considers inventory management on maritime units and routing planning for platform supply vessel routes. During experiments, we propose a data generation method, making possible generation of stochastic demands with realistic values. On the end, this work shows results analysis, determining some parameters, for example, fleet size. The objective is to obtain an operation with lowest costs, but maintaining a good service level, without shortages.
