Crude oil from the Kalamkas field
This article reports on a study of a sample of commercial mixed crude from a field on the Buzachi Peninsula (Kazakh SSR). Kalamkas is a multireservoir field, the oil- and gas-bearing strata being mainly in the Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic. The oil is high in density, viscosity, and carbon residue, and it contains large amounts of resinous-asphaltic substances and sulfur, with little paraffin. The oil contains considerable amounts of metals, in particular vanadium and nickel. The diesel fuel cuts do not meet the requirements of the diesel fuel standards for sulfur content, and the 240-350/sup 0/C cut also fails to meet the requirements for kinematic viscosity at 20/sup 0/C. The 350-490/sup 0/C cut meets all of the requirements for catalytic cracking feed, including the limit on metal content. The total potential content of distillate lube stocks is 20.3% on crude, and the total potential content of residual lube stocks is 22.1%. Includes 4 tables.
