“…In 2019, Meng Yuan proposed a pipeline network reform method and highlighted the importance of influence on other aspects, such as China's 3E and downstream oil supply chain. The results of this study are extremely efficient as a year-over-year improvement of overall energy efficiency, as well as a reduction in electricity consumption [4]. In 2020, another study by Ayman Alghanmi applied mathematical modeling in combination with fuzzy rule-based and Bayesian networks theory to stimulate, explain and analyze operational risks.…”

“…In addition, sustainable development requires not only economic efficiency optimization, but also environmental impacts and energy security. These objectives are commonly known as the 3E evaluation, which entails the economy, environment and energy [4]. Furthermore, the impact of uncertainties such as consumption demand, capacity, costs and prices can cause changes in supply chain configurations [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Over the years, oil-related energy sources have played an irreplaceable role in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, the efficiency of petroleum supply chains is a key factor that significantly affects the economy. This research aimed to optimize the configuration of the uncertainty multimodal petroleum supply chain in terms of economy, energy and environment (3E assessment). This study proposes a novel integration methodology between a heuristic algorithm and exact solution optimization. In the first stage, this study determines the facilities’ potential geographical coordinates using heuristic algorithm. Then, the fuzzy min-max goal programming model (FMMGPM) was developed to find the multi-objective solutions. In particular, this model allows analysis of supply chain uncertainty through simultaneous factors such as demand, resource, cost and price. These uncertainty factors are expressed as triangular fuzzy parameters that can be analyzed in terms of both probability and magnitude. Moreover, the model is applied to the entire petroleum supply chain in Vietnam, including downstream and upstream activities. In addition, another novelty is that for the first time, pipeline systems in logistics activities are considered in Vietnam’s petroleum supply chain optimization study. The results also show the short-term and long-term benefits of developing a pipeline system for oil transportation in Vietnam’s petroleum supply chain. To evaluate the effects of uncertainty on design decisions, this study also performed a sensitivity analysis with scenarios constructed based on different magnitudes and probabilities of uncertainty.

“…Accordingly, it is expected to withdraw these privileges and treat private enterprises fairly . For example, allowing third-party access is an effective way to improve management performance of the downstream oil supply chain given the adequate residual capacity of the pipeline network (Yuan et al 2019). The establishment of National Pipe Network Corporation in December 2019 separates pipeline transportation from production and sales, which is conducive to promoting market competition and improving the efficiency of resource allocation.…”

The petroleum industry plays an essential role in driving China's economic development. In the past few decades, several reforms in the petroleum industry have been implemented; however, there are still some issues that have not been resolved. Moreover, with the new-normal economy, the transition to green energy and international trade disputes, the petroleum market is also facing emerging challenges. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to review the historical development of China's petroleum market, identify the current challenges and propose corresponding countermeasures for future prospects. As a conclusion, five main challenges are highlighted totally, namely lack of marketization, excess oil refining capacity, high external dependency, environment pollution and unstable international trading relationship. To address these challenges, it is encouraged to deepen petroleum market reform, accelerate the elimination of inefficient refining capacity, diversify oil supply sources, as well as improve domestic petroleum enterprises' ability to resist price risks.

“…Researchers have done some relevant studies on the design and planning of the oil supply chain. [28][29][30][31][32] The mathematical models developed in their studies were used as efficient tools to determine the distribution plans. While some studies [33][34][35][36] applied sampling methods such as the Monte Carlo method to sample the uncertain data in the optimization of the oil supply chain, the above studies can be the references for our paper to develop the mathematical model that can optimize the distribution plan of the RPSC.…”

The reliable operation of the primary distribution of refined products supply chains is crucial in guaranteeing the demand for retail markets. The uncertainties such as demand, production, and inventory will affect the supply chain operation. However, there lacks literature that studies the reliability of demand‐side management of refined products supply chains. This reliability assessment can help define the weak points and boost the performance of the supply chain. And it can help decision‐makers to improve the satisfaction of retail markets. In this paper, a systematic method for comprehensively assessing the reliability of refined products supply chains is proposed. At first, a mathematical programming model is developed to get the distribution plan of refined products. Then, several scenarios such as increasing demand, decreasing production, refineries disruption, and pipeline interruption relevant to the real situations of refined products supply chains are defined. Besides, indices including satisfaction rate, number of dissatisfied retail markets, refined products shortage, shortage of a single retail market, and average shortage duration are proposed to evaluate the reliability of the demand‐side management in primary distribution processes. At last, the Monte Carlo simulation is adopted for a comprehensive analysis combining all the scenarios. This analysis shows a clear picture of the influence of uncertainties. This method is applied to assess the reliability of demand‐side management of a real refined products supply chain. After analyzing different scenarios, the average probability of dissatisfaction under the reference scenario came as 1.93 × 10−4/day that means one day in around 14.2 years could have refined products shortage. This method can also help decision‐makers to assess other primary distribution of refined products supply chains.
