Abstract

Characterization of Arab medium Crude Oil, has been carried out in terms of API gravity, debutanized crude gravity, total sulfur content, Reid vapour pressure ash content, heating value, salt content, viscosity SUS, vanadium content as V2O5, pour point and analysis of various metals. Further, six true boiling point (TBP) fractions (IBP-95°C, 95–205°C, 205–260°C, 260–345°C, 345–455°C and 455°C+) of this crude were characterized in terms of API gravity, total sulfur contents H2S content, mercaptons content, molecular weight, elemental analyses for total carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, analyses of various metals and paraffin, aromatic and naphthene contents of lighter fractions. The kinematic viscosity-temperature data have been obtained for 95°C+ TBP fractions for a wide range of temperatures.
