Popis: | Twenty-two crude oils around the world, from which 19 are processed in the LUKOIL Neftohim Burgas (LNB) refinery, were characterized in the LNB research laboratory by measuring 67 properties. These 22 crude oils included light low sulfur, light sulfur, intermediate low sulfur, intermediate sulfur, intermediate high sulfur, heavy high sulfur, and extra heavy extra high sulfur crudes. A new mathematical approach—the intercriteria analysis—was employed to study the relations between the petroleum properties. It was found that the petroleum properties, density, and sulfur content, along with the crude oil simulated distillation, seem to be capable of providing the same information as that from the full assay of a crude oil. Crude oils containing insoluble asphaltenes (self-incompatible oils) were found to have a high content of low aromaticity naphtha and kerosene. It was found that the asphaltene solubility correlated with the asphaltene hydrogen content. The oil solubility power was found to correlate with ... |
