Avaliação de políticas de suprimento de óleo diesel a unidades marítimas de exploração e produção de petróleo

Abstract

Logistics operations in offshore petroleum exploration and production industry account for a high share of total operating cost. Since, it is crucial to design an efficient logistics system, both to ensure cost reduction and to avoid risks of shortage in offshore units. This work aims to compare two diesel supply policies to offshore units, based on the production scenario of an oil company operating in Brazil. From this scenario, it will then be determined which policy presents the best performance, as well as the optimal fleet size for each one. Discrete event simulation will be used to conduce this study.
