Logistics

History indicates that the petroleum industry has had a limited focus on traditional logistics. However, with growing competition and increasing accessibility issues due to facilities being installed in even deeper waters, the need for traditional logistics knowledge has grown internationally.


Decision-support tools

In recent years, MARINTEK has developed decision-support tools based on "System Thinking and System Dynamics". By using these methods and tools MARINTEK is capable of simulating the whole value chain, from production to market.

As the oil companies explore and develop ever deeper waters, which equates to more expensive field developments, they will need a better basis for decision-making.

"System Dynamics" based decision-support tools give the operator better insight and integrated understanding in addition to support for the strategic choices he must make before a field development is put into effect. Such dynamic models enable oil companies to test alternative development strategies in which the whole of the value chain from well to end-user can be simulated.

Extended offshore logistics

MARINTEK (USA) Inc. will help your company to be more competitive and to get more profits out of the decreasing margins within the offshore supply market.

To meet the competitive market and reduce margins in the offshore supply services, your company need to utilize the Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV) in an optimal manner.

MARINTEK (USA) Inc. is offering services within this field consisting of the following main activities:

• Development of decision taking tools for an effective fleet management of vessels. (TURBORouter)

• Optimize the number of vessel used for platform supply in given region.

• Development of an Information Support Tool based on web technology for supply chain environment.

• Development of an operational planning tool for all relevant operations involved in the offshore logistics (or offshore supply chain).

Simulation of LNG Supply Chain

• The Dynamic Model to include:

  • Offshore production of gas

  • Transportation through pipelines to shore

  • LNG storage capacities onshore

  • LNG processing capacities onshore

  • Transportation of LNG to market

  • Design of optimal number of vessels for transportation of NGL

  • LNG storage capacities in market
     

• Economical results for all parts in the Supply Chain.

• Market demand to be included (i.e 3 different users).
