Abstract

Saudi Arabian heavy crude oil was separated into six fractions, including five distillate fractions (<93, 93-204, 204-260, 260-343 and 343-454 °C) and a >454 °C distillation residue. Each fraction was analysed by ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. spectroscopy, and combined gained information from these analyses provided reliable average structural parameters. These included estimation of aliphatic and aromatic content, average paraffinic chain length, and estimation of hydrogen, methyl and alkyl bearing aromatic carbons for each of the six fractions. The extent of branching in paraffinic chains and amount of aromatic bridgehead carbons were also calculated.
