Abstract
Characterization of Kuwaiti crude oil, has been carried out in terms o API gravity, debutanized gravity, total sulfur content, Reid Vapor pressure ash content, heating value, salt content, viscosity SUS, vanadium content a; V2O5, pour point and analysis of various metals. The true boiling poinl (TBP) fractions of this crude (IBP - 95° C, 95 - 205°C, 205 - 260° C, 260 - 345° C and 455° C+) were also characterized in terms of API gravity, total sulful content, H2S content, mercaptans content, molecular weight and elementa analyses for total carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. The kinematic viscosity temperature data have been obtained for 95°C+TBP fractions for a wide range of temperatures.
