Simulation of FeedStock Deliveries from Oil and Gas FieldsModeling of crude oil and condensate deliveries to refineries is considered using the Petroleum Refining Library. The proposed solution supports refinery feedstock planning, flow blending, source prioritization, and capacity constraints, enabling Digital Twin development, crude oil supply chain simulation, and scenario analysis for refinery planning and supply chain optimization.
