The crude oil from a promising new offshore field in Azerbaidzhan -Chirag -is light, low-sulfur, low-resin, and waxy. Its naphtha cuts are characterized by low octane numbers. They can be used as components of automotive gasolines. Brand KO-20 lamp kerosene can be obtained from light kerosene cuts. Catalytic dewaxing must be conducted on the 150-280°C cut to manufacture jet fuel. The diesel cuts are favorable feedstock for manufacturing summer diesel fuel. The potential content of base oils with a viscosity index of 75-89 is 24.64 wt. % in crude oil.
The results of studying crude oil from the Guneshli deep-water oil field are reported. The oil is light, low-sulfur, low-resin, waxy crude. The naphtha cut is characterized by a low octane number. Brand KO-20 clarified kerosene and brand TS-1 jet fuel can be obtained from the light kerosene cuts, while local-grade diesel can be obtained from the diesel cuts. The potential content of base oils with a viscosity index of 72-85 in the crude is 31.4 wt. %. The crude can be refined with the fuel-oil scheme.
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.
