Abstract
|
Authors
analyze Brazilian fuel production and market scenarios considering the
country’s planned investments to prevent a fuel deficit of around 30% in
2020. They offer a nonlinear programming model to predict the national
overall capacity for different oil-refinery units considering four future
market scenarios.
They present single-period operational planning cases for the present and intermediate scenarios and those considered in 2020 by changing demands, custumer preference, and planned investments to calculate fuel production and import figures for the current and future production and market scenarios in the country. Results suggest a different processing outline in the national overall unit capacity planning. |
