Economic Evaluation of Crew Exchange Transportation in BP West Java Offshore Operations - An Optimization Approach
Crew exchange is a very critical operations in all oil and gas industry where exploration and production of these hydrocarbons are carried out continuously for 24 hours a day for the whole production life time and they are usually located on remote areas. The crew change operations has to be robust in term of safety of the people, comfort-ability and cost, and it has to ensure the availability of workers who are fit to work on all exploration and production sites in order to maintain the continuity of exploring and producing the oil and gas to fulfill customers' demand.nBP West Java Ltd as one of the oil and gas production operator in offshore Java Sea is currently performing their crew exchange operations by using a crew boat. This will require an optimum operations of crew exchange to fulfill the goal of crew exchange, i.e. transporting employees to and from their respective platforms safely, comfortable an cost effectively.nThis thesis is intended to review and evaluate the current crew exchange operations to determine if the operations is already optimum. Several alternatives of crew exchange operation will be proposed and evaluated in order to obtain the most optimum operations. The alternatives are developed by optimizing the boat's speed, crew grouping and boat's shipping routes.
