Transportation and distributions network hold an important role to maintain business stability in oil and gas industry. In this work, the simulation modelling to optimize the transportation is proposed for the oil and gas company. An agent-based modelling is developed to find the optimal solutions. Two route alternatives of the transportation were found as the constraint of the model. The result showed that the simulations model enabled to find the number of the truck to operate as the optimal transportation solution. The simulation model demonstrated that the route 2 provided the optimal solution in minimizing transportation cost and maximized the number of distributed crude oil.
