DAS CRUDE ANALYSIS

SUMMARY
The Narrow Cut TBP Distillation on DAS CRUDE crude was performed twice. In two
Runs 6000 ml (approx.) samples were used. The Primary Products Yield at the PRL cut
points are based on the average of the two Runs while detailed testing of these cut fractions was
carried out on the fractions obtained from the first and second Run. Gas oil and Residue yields
at revised cut points of 235-400 C and 400 C plus (revamp cut points) were also established.
The Test Method ASTM D-2892 was followed. The column used was of 50 mm diameter,
Tilting Funnel Type having 15 theoretical plates packed with Helipak packing. Each fraction
was weighed and specific gravity was determined at 60/60 F. The volume yields have been
calculated from the weight of each fraction and its respective specific gravity.
The DAS CRUDE Assay includes the following determinations:

Crude oil general characteristics.

TBP distillation for narrow cuts upto 371 C.

TBP distillation for narrow cuts upto 400 C.

TBP distillation into wide cuts corresponding to the following PRL cut fractions:
