We discuss how an optimization model can be used together with a scenario generation procedure to provide valuable analysis for companies operating in a natural gas value chain. The solution time of the optimization model can be considerable for some model specifications, so a large scale sampling f...

We present an optimization model for analysis of system development for natural gas fields, processing and transport infrastructure. In this paper we present our experience from performing analyses for the natural gas industry with the optimization model. We also present a model extension in the for...

Infrastructure-planning models are challenging because of their combination of different time scales: while planning and building the infrastructure involves strategic decisions with time horizons of many years, one needs an operational time scale to get a proper picture of the infrastructure’s perf...

Hensikten med dette arbeidet har vært å analysere pasientflyt, ventetider, kapasitets- og ressursutnytelse i forhold til behandling av pasienter ved Akuttsenteret. Arbeidet er basert på empiriske registreringer de siste halvannet år i kombinasjon med en simuleringsmodell som er utviklet under veis i...

We present a multi-stage stochastic model that analyzes investments in natural gas fields and infrastructure. New projects are evaluated together with existing infrastructure and planned expansions. Several uncertain factors both upstream and downstream such as reservoir volumes, the composition of ...

We present an investment analysis tool for natural gas infrastructure development. The model takes a system perspective and considers all existing infrastructure as well as the potential expansions. We formulate the investment problem as a deterministic mixed-integer linear program. We extend existi...
