Description ABSTRACTAs a part of energy planning, Malaysia is developing a long term energy model as a tool to manage its natural resources.The purpose of paper is to present the preliminary results obtained from optimizing the initial model. Being a netexporter of crude oil, Malaysia exports its crude oil and compressed natural gas, as well as imports crude oil and coalto satisfy its own energy needs. At the earlier stage of model development, the crude oil system is cast as an energyflow network model tracing its flow from extraction sources or imports; and following the flow through conversionand transformation processes; and, ultimately, distribute its end products to the final demand sectors. The preliminaryresults of the model indicate that the extraction and the import of several petroleum products show erratic behaviorand, thus, such irregularity should be overcome before adding further energy systems to the model.Keywords: Crude oil; petroleum products; energy; energy planning; linear programmingABSTRAKSebagai sebahagian daripada perancangan tenaga, Malaysia kini sedang membangunkan sebuah model tenagaberjangka masa panjang sebagai satu alat bagi menguruskan sumber-sumber aslinya. Tujuan kertas ini adalah untukmembentangkan keputusan awal yang diperolehi daripada mengoptimumkan model awal. Sebagai pengeksport bersihminyak mentah, Malaysia mengeksport minyak mentah dan gas asli termampat, serta mengimport minyak mentahdan arang batu untuk memenuhi keperluan tenaganya sendiri. Pada peringkat awal pembangunan model ini, sistemminyak mentah diacu sebagai model rangkaian aliran tenaga mengesan aliran dari sumber pengeluaran atau import;dan mengikut aliran melalui penukaran dan perubahan proses; dan akhirnya, mengedar produk akhir kepada sektorpermintaan akhir. Keputusan awal model menunjukkan bahawa pengeluaran dan import beberapa produk petroleummenunjukkan satu tingkah laku yang tidak menentu , oleh itu, ketidaktentuan itu harus diatasi sebelum menambahsistem tenaga kepada model yang adaKata kunci: Minyak mentah; produk petroleum; tenaga; perancangan tenaga; pengaturcaraan linear
