Abstract

Monte Carlo simulation-based methods for stochastic optimization of risk measures is required to solve complex problems in supply security of subsidized fuel oil in Indonesia. In order to overcome constraints in distribution of subsidized fuel in Indonesia, which has the fourth largest population in the world—more than 250,000,000 people with 66.5% of productive population, and has more than 17,000 islands with its population centered around the nation's capital only—it is necessary to have a measurable and integrated risk analysis with monitoring system for the purpose of supply security of subsidized fuel. In consideration of this complex issue, uncertainty and probability heavily affected this research. Therefore, this research did the Monte Carlo sampling-based stochastic simulation optimization with the state-of-the-art "FIRST" parameter combined with the Sensitivity Analysis to determine the priority of integrated risk mitigation handling so that the implication of the new model design from this research may give faster risk mitigation time. The results of the research identified innovative ideas of risk based audit on supply chain risk management and new FIRST (Fairness, Independence, Reliable, Sustainable, Transparent) parameters on risk measures. In addition to that, the integration of risk analysis confirmed the innovative level of priority on sensitivity analysis. Moreover, the findings showed that the new risk mitigation time was 60% faster than the original risk mitigation time.

Abstract

Transporting crude oil using pipelines is a widely adopted method globally. In one segment owned by PT. XYZ, especially in swampy areas, the fluid temperature tends to drop below the wax appearance temperature (WAT) during oil transportation. This is due to the relatively low temperature in swamp areas caused by heat loss to the environment. The solubility of paraffin in crude oil drastically decreases as fluid temperature drops, causing wax molecules to precipitate and deposit on the cold pipe walls. PT. XYZ employs chemical treatment by adding a pour point depressant (PPD) to lower the pour point temperature (PPT). However, PPD is effective only at certain temperatures, necessitating a study for alternative treatments. Another method involves installing heaters on the pipeline to reduce the viscosity of transported crude oil and enhance its flowability, either through direct heating or heat tracing using insulation with low thermal conductivity. Therefore, in PT. XYZ's case, an analysis is required to identify locations where fluid temperature decreases occur to ensure precise heater installation. Various software tools, including OLGA, have been developed to predict and describe wax deposition phenomena and temperature decreases along the pipeline. OLGA software can simulate locations of fluid temperature decreases in the pipeline, estimate heat loss along the pipeline, and simulate heat tracing technologies to prevent wax deposition. Simulation results indicate that wax deposition can be prevented by installing skin effect heat tracing with a heating power of 15 W/m and insulated with 2-inch aerogel, maintaining the oil temperature downstream at 157.34F, well above the desired 115F threshold.

Abstract

This study leverages machine learning techniques to predict and optimize operational expenditures (OPEX) in Indonesia's oil and gas industry. By analyzing historical data from Work Plan and Budget (WP&B) reports from 2017, the research identifies key factors influencing OPEX, such as production location, oil characteristics, and development stages. The Random Forest model demonstrated the highest predictive accuracy with an R-squared value of 0.92 and Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 4.5. The findings highlight significant cost-saving opportunities, particularly in Kalimantan and Papua. These insights support strategic planning and decision-making, emphasizing the transformative potential of machine learning in enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability in the oil and gas sector.

Abstract

The existence of carbon footprint trade regulations and advances in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology have led to the urgency of CCUS installations at all refineries globally. Captured CO2 can be used as a new economic opportunity by being reprocessed as a raw material for the production process. CO2 can be processed into DME through dry methane reforming, methanol synthesis, and methanol dehydration processes. The Indonesian government plans to replace LPG with DME. Thus, a process simulation using Aspen Plus was carried out to see the effectiveness of production along with an investment feasibility analysis in terms of NPV, IRR, PBP, and PI values and a probability review using Monte Carlo simulation. From the simulation on Aspen Plus, DME was produced as much as 868.04 tons/day. Furthermore, the economic parameters were calculated with a DME selling price of USD 1,300/ton and obtained an NPV value of USD 1,783,715,566.19, IRR 58.44%, PBP 2.041 years, and PI 3.675 so that the plant can be said to be feasible. From 1000 iterations carried out in the simulation, the four economic parameters show positive values so that the financial risk of the plant is relatively safe.
