Abstract
In order to maintain the production of offshore oil wells, the National Iranian Oil Company periodically services facilities and equipment located in oil wellheads with mobile wellhead servants. It also gives technical supports to oil wellheads and mobile wellhead servants with supporter vessels. Due to supply limitations, there are not enough special vessels (namely supporter vessels and mobile wellhead servants) compared to the number of oil wellheads. The failure of special vessels to service oil wellheads and supporter vessels to technically support mobile wellhead servants based on a predetermined plan, will lead to considerable loss in production performance of oil wells and hence...

Abstract
For offshore oil production, oil facilities should be continuously provided. The focus of this research is on the problems associated with a fleet of vessels from central depot(s) that are periodically utilized to serve wells and wellhead platforms with different demands and time limits. Iranian Offshore Oil Company, the largest offshore oil producer in Iran, was selected as a case study in this thesis. The main objectives is twofold. The first objective in the current study is to plan periodic routing of mobile wellhead servants and supporter vessels, as providers of general and technical services for the equipment on wellhead platforms. In some periods, the mobile wellhead servants require...
