Patent number: 10248111Abstract: A decision support tool to assist decision-making in the operation of a facility. The decision support tool allows a user to perform operational programming of the facility so that the analysis of specific operational events is flexible and “on-demand.” This is achieved by allowing the user to set scope and timeframe of the analysis according to business needs. As a result, the organization can make better-informed judgments whether to add operational activities and how to adjust the ones already formulated in the program. The decision support tool can also allow for the application of strategies to communicate intent behind the programming instructions and to improve the quality of business decisions.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Philip H. Warrick, Anantha Sundaram, Victor P. DePaola, Jayanth Balasubramanian, Stephen R. Bradshaw, Gary Robert Kocis, Joseph W. Evans, Nicholas J. Booker, George E. Friedrich, Eric A. Winkler

Patent number: 10042355Abstract: A decision support tool to assist decision-making in the operation of a facility. The decision support tool allows a user to perform planning and scheduling of the events within a facility so that established economic goals do not collide with feasibility of a schedule. This is achieved by flexible time modeling, which introduces a “look-ahead” planning and scheduling technique. This technique analyzes several time periods of the schedule in light of upcoming dominant events, in order for each segment of the schedule to remain as consistent with the planning objectives as possible.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Anantha Sundaram, Philip H. Warrick, Jayanth Balasubramanian, Ahmet B. Keha, Gary R. Kocis, Joseph W. Evans

Publication number: 20130339100Abstract: A decision support tool to assist decision-making in the operation of a facility. The decision support tool allows the user to compare the performance of different strategies for the operation of the facility so that the organization can make better-informed judgments about which approach to use. The decision support tool can also allow for the modification of strategies to improve their performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Philip H.

Publication number: 20100332273Abstract: A tool to assist decision-making in the logistics of bulk product transportation. For example, the tool may be used to solve a problem involving the transportation and the inventory management of crude oil, in which the transportation of crude oil between supply ports and discharge ports are performed by a fleet of ships. The tool is capable of handling a typical petroleum product transportation problem, which can be quite complex. The tool uses advanced modeling and optimization technology to find a solution (either optimal or near optimal) for the allocation of bulk products, vehicle routing, vehicle scheduling, and/or bulk product blending operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Jayanth BALASUBRAMANIAN, Nicolas SAWAYA, Kevin C.
