Characterization of Arab Berri (extra light) crude fractions with emphasis on kinematic viscosity-temperature behavior
The characterization data has been obtained for Arab Berri extra light crude oil (API/sup 0/ 46.9), which is one of the four crude oils being commercially produced by Saudi Arabia. Further, six true boiling point fractions (IBP-95/sup 0/C, 95-205/sup 0/C, 205-260/sup 0/C, 260-345/sup 0/C, 345-455/sup 0/C and 455/sup 0/C+) of this crude were characterized in terms of API gravity, total sulfur, H/sub 2/S, merceptans, molecular weight, elemental analysis for total carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, analysis of various metals and paraffin, aromatic and naphthalene contents of lighter fractions. The kinematic viscosity-temperature data have been obtained for 95/sup 0/C+ TBP fractions for wide range of temperatures.
