Refining Characteristics
General High sulphur crude having high yields of middle distillates with good cetane
index. The crude is a very good feedstock for the production of lube oils.
Naphtha The naphtha is a medium quality reformer feedstock. The long range
naphtha is suitable for ethylene production.
Kerosene Suitable for jet fuel production. Has give-away on freezing point and smoke
point.
Gasoil Favorable yields of gasoil with a good cetane index and acceptable cold
properties.
Cracking Feedstock Medium quality catalytic cracker feedstock.
Residue The vacuum residue is a good visbreaker feedstock and will yield high
sulphur fuel oil.
