A fast and accurate method for ihe group analysis of crude oils in porous media that describes petroleum components (especially heavy f;ocrions) has been developed NMR structure group anabsis is used as ihe tool for the characterization of crude oils. This method is proposed as an alternative io existing complicated and laborious methods of characterization of extracted oil samples. Currenily, group analysis of heavy fractions of crude oils is being investigated by means of chromatographic method such as the SARA (saturates-aromatics-resins-asphaltenes) test These methods are usualb expensive and require considerable work from qualzified personnel. Furthermore, these metho& cannot be used for estimating the oil components in-situ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
