Abstract

Saudi Arabian medium crude oil has been characterized by 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. Several structural parameters such as the percentage of aliphatic carbons, aromatic carbons, n-alkanes, naphthenes, branched alkanes and chain length of paraffinic chains were calculated. The aromatic carbons were further classified as those attached to a hydrogen, methyl or alkyl group, or bridgehead carbons.
