Viscosity–Temperature Curves of Fractions of Typical American Crude Oils

Abstract

THEfollowing crude oils were selected for the tests: (1), ( 2), (3) one sample each of Pennsylvania, Wyoming, and California crude, as heretofore described.;1 23 (4) a sample of crude petroleum from Bigheart field, Osage County, Oklahoma, which was regarded as representative of Midcontinent oils; (5) a sample of crude petroleum from Sour Lake field. This oil was considered representative of the Gulf

Prediction of the Viscosity of Crude Oil Fractions From a Single Measurement

“…The data were obtained from the publication of Lane and Dean (1924), and contained a total of 267 points from Pennsylvania, California, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas crude oils at a wide range of temperatures. The results obtained are compared with the predictions of Amin and Maddox (1980) made on the same data.…”
