AN OVERVIEW AND A WBS TEMPLATE FOR CONSTRUCTION PLANNING OF MEDIUM SIZED PETROLEUM REFINERIES
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Oil and gas are considered among the world's most important resources. The oil and gas industry plays a critical role in driving the global economy. Petroleum itself is used for numerous products, in addition to serving as the world's primary fuel source. The processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive and require state-of-the-art technology. The modern petroleum refineries consist of very complex mix of high technology processes which efficiently convert the wide array of petroleum crude oils into the hundreds of specification products used daily by the people. Each refinery has its own unique processing configuration as a result of the logistics and associated economics related to its specific crude oils and products markets. In this paper, an introduction to general items of oil and gas along with a template for scheduling and construction planning of the medium sized oil refineries with capacities around 100,000 barrels per day and even higher capacities is presented. The study evaluated the project life cycle for the construction of a petroleum refinery which comprises of the planning, design, construction, installation and commissioning phases. The project life cycle must be planned in great details for a successful execution. It is therefore necessary to study and gather all necessary information on the construction of a refinery with the objective of creating a client’s work breakdown structure (WBS) template in a project planning. The results of this study eventually serve as a guide which can be adjusted to suit the planning and management for the construction of a petroleum refinery depending on the produced products characteristics, environmental and operational parameters. To validate the proposed template, the Tabriz Petroleum Refinery arrangements is considered as case study.
