Modeling the Mobile Oil Recovery Problem as a Multiobjective Vehicle Routing Problem

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 14))

Abstract

The Mobile Oil Recovery (MOR) unit is a truck able to pump marginal wells in a petrol field. The goal of the MOR optimization Problem (MORP) is to optimize both the oil extraction and the travel costs. We describe several formulations for the MORP using a single vehicle or a fleet of vehicles. We have also strengthened them by improving the subtour elimination constraints. Optimality is proved for instances close to reality with up to 200 nodes.
