Abstract: As the construction and commissioning of products pipelines are sped up all over the world, the economic and efficient operation of products pipeline systems has attracted much attention. Therefore, the planning and implementation of the finished oil pipeline scheduling plan is particularly important. In this paper, the relevant literatures on the products pipeline scheduling at home and abroad were reviewed. Then, based on the differences of domestic and foreign products pipelines in terms of operation mode and management mechanism, the research status of products pipeline scheduling at home and abroad was discussed and the main research methods and research results in the field of products pipeline scheduling were summarized. Finally, the future research direction of products pipeline scheduling was prospected.
