Abstract
In this paper, a framework for optimizing the oil condensate supply chain is modeled using mathematical planning to design and make strategic and tactical decisions. According to this framework, investment and operating costs for oil and gas transmission lines can be minimized to meet the pressure requirements and the transmission network. Also, we can minimize the production of pollutants in the chain-related sectors. In the case under study, all possible decisions are considered to consider the environmental aspects of the supply chain. Therefore, the structure and decisions of the supply chain are generally based on two objective functions, including reducing transmission and maintenance costs and pollution in treatment plants and distribution centers. The proposed model is 95% reliable, which is acceptable reliability, and can estimate goals with only 5% error. Using the proposed model will reduce costs by 31% and emissions by 51%. Also, there will be an 8% increase in the capacity of fields and refineries and an increase in exports by 65%. Using the results obtained from solving the model, we can determine the share of each petroleum product in the cost and each part of the chain in the production of greenhouse gases. According to the results, fuel oil has the highest and oils the lowest. In addition, refineries have the greatest impact, and storage tanks have the least impact on environmental pollution.
