Description

A consortium of American Petroleum Institute member companies has sponsored a research program consisting of a series of projects on the characterization of crude oils. The goal of this program was to obtain complete sots of assay and thermophysical property data on a few widely varying crude oils to test the basic correlations and models typically used in the design of crude oil refining and related facilities. The crude oils chosen were Alaskan North Slope, Utah Altamont, and San Joaquin Valley. This report provides descriptions of the test procedures, discussions of their accuracy, and a comprehensive compilation of the data for the three crude oils measured under this program. The scope of this report is limited to discussion of the characterization tests and compilation of the data. Although the data were generated to allow for the evaluation of various correlations used for design purposes, such evaluation has been/will be done by API’s Technical Data Committee and may be published later. It is important to note, however, that a number of these data have been utilized in the development of correlations that are included in the three most recent revisions of the API Technical Data Book, most notably Chapter 2 (Characterization) and Chapter 3 (Distillation Interconversions).
