In this study, the real data of the existing pipeline structure is used, which is currently applied in Iraq. The weakness of the original Dijkstra's algorithm is unable to solve the network problem with a huge data size of more than 50 wells.

The results showed that the proposed algorithm, called the Modify Dijkstra's Algorithm (MDA), only run for less than one minute even for large data size and provides a better solution for the 700 to 840 wells. Meanwhile, the genetic algorithm performs very well for the data size between 100 to 600 wells but took about 20 minutes to get the best solution. For a small data size of 10 to 50 wells, a minimum spanning tree (MST) is capable of producing optimal solutions in less than 5 minutes. However, MST is unable to solve more than 50 wells.

description The optimal design of the oil-gas pipeline network is challenging due to its complexity and variety.
