Sarir Crude Oil

Evaluation of Sarir Crude Oil

This assay is a part of a series of crude oil evaluation reports have been prepared for
Crude oil marketing department of National Oil Corporation. A bout 60 Liters of
Crude oil sample was collected from Sirt oil Company. A homogenous sample has
been collected on 10 th July 2008 from pipeline coming from Sarir field and passing
through Messla field, the sample was collected according to standard method ASTM
D4057.
The analysis of crude oil sample was carried out using well recognized standard
procedures given in ASTM, IP and UOP methods. The distillation of crude oil was
carried out using a batch fractionation unit made according to ASTM D-2892 method
& ASTM D-1160 method.
The crude oil was distilled under atmospheric and vacuum pressure and the
atmospheric residue was further distilled to obtain distillate fractions. Distillate
fractions corresponding to true boiling point up to 550+0C were collected.
