Abstract

Logistics in the oil and gas industry (O&G industry) represent approximately from 5% to 15% of the total costs thus a failure in logistics has an important impact in the whole supply chain and considering the trillion of dollars invested in oil and gas projects development in the upstream stage of the chain value any increase of efficiency in the logistics activities represent an important advantage. We used the Agent Based Simulation (ABS) to simulate the initial proposed route a single transportation agent must take to move the drilling equipment among the oil wells and the time it took using this first route; then we simulated optimized routes and because the absent of data we made different iterations with different rigs number to optimize much more the time service of the transportation agent, so we optimized the time and the number of transport units that must be employed to reduce time and costs of delivery.
