The logistics pipeline scheduling problem of oil refining process was researched in this paper. The problem has been received significant attentions in actual production process. A MILP scheduling optimization model was built by formulating the complex logistics pipeline network of oil refining process. Compared to other researches, the presented model in this paper has fewer variables and more concise constrains which can be solved more efficiently. The formulation approach also provides a basis for the further research on energy network optimization. Finally, the presented model was used to address the scheduling of a refinery. Case study shows that the obtained optimal schedule satisfies real requirements, which illustrates the models efficiency.
