- The logistics management of refined oil under a separation of production and transportation leads to high logistics costs and a mismatch between the supply and demand sides. This paper intends to develop a general framework to assess the impact of the integration of the production and transportation in terms of economic, environmental, and energy benefits. Firstly, this paper proposes a tactical-level mathematical model for optimizing the integration of production and transportation of refined oil to minimize the total cost. In the model, several factors, such as level of market demand, production capacity limits, transportation modes, and transportation capacity, are taken into consideration. Then, the energy, economy, and environment analysis method are applied to assess the impact of the integration on the field of refined oil logistics. Four scenarios are set up and a comparative analysis is carried out in detail in China. The optimal resource allocation scheme and production adjustment scheme for each scenario are obtained. The results show that after the integration, the logistics cost is reduced by 6.8 %− 11 %, the greenhouse gas emission is reduced by 7.3 %− 17.7 %, and the energy consumption per unit turnover is reduced by 4.4 %− 7.4 %. This proves that the integration of production and transportation guided by the proposed method performs positive economic, environmental, and energy benefits. Finally, policy implications are provided.

- The pipeline is an economical, safe and environmentally friendly way to deliver refined products, but the un-coordinated decisions of the pipeline carrier and the oil shipper can lead to low pipeline turnover and high cross -regional logistics costs. This paper intends to remedy this problem through pipeline pricing and logistics plan-ning. First, a framework is designed to coordinate the operational decisions of the pipeline carrier and the oil shipper. Then, a bi-level programming model is customized to characterize the decentralized decision-making process of both stakeholders, including pipeline pricing and logistics planning. The upper-level model maxi-mizes the transportation revenue of the pipeline carrier, and the lower-level model minimizes the logistics cost of the oil shipper. The model constraints supply and demand capacity, transportation capacity, transportation network structure and mass balance. Next, to realize the coordination of both stakeholders, a negotiation mechanism based on fair profit distribution is customized. Ultimately, the method is tested on a large-scale logistics system of refined products in China. The results reveal that: (1) the pipeline turnover is increased by 127 million ton-kilometers, (2) the economic benefits of both stakeholders are maximized with an increase of 13 million CNY, (3) a fairer profit distribution is provided compared with the centralized decision-making. It is proved that the proposed method has a satisfactory coordination effect on the pricing of the pipeline carrier and the logistics planning of the oil shipper.
