An efficient and timely emergency response to a major accident is more challenging for the exploration and utilization of deep-sea oil and gas fields due to harsh external environment factors. An optimal solution is needed to tackle the external environment changes in the demand for emergency resources. To effectively balance emergency response time and the satisfaction of resource scheduling quantity, this paper proposes a multiple rescue points and multi-objective optimization model to address such challenges. Such model takes into account the environment factors involving wind speed and wave height caused by the variability of the deep-sea monsoon climate. Additionally, to handle the uncertainty of the resource demand at the accident sites, a linear programming and heuristic hybrid algorithm is proposed to help decision makers select the ideal routes and minimal scheduling time of deep-sea emergency resources, as well as the optimal operation season. A case study of a blowout accident is conducted to demonstrate the application of the proposed model and the real-world implications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
