Optimizing Gas Oil Transmission Network of Entry Points to the Consumption Centers

Transportation problem and its cost is one of the major problems facing all countries. To meet the demand of different parts of the country for oil products every year, a big capacity of these products is carried by the transport system of the country. These demands are realized from domestic refineries production and import sources. The problem is how to carry these products from refineries and import sources to different parts of the country. So, this paper optimizes the transmission network of gas oil of entry points to consumption Centers, by using the transshipment model with minimize transport expenses. Considering place the research covers the whole country and considering time the presented model fits the transport system of 1390. Optimum results show 63% in cost of saving gas oil distribution expense by using 78% of the pipeline.
