Q1- If you are asked to evaluate a sample of crude oil, what are the main

information you will need?

Q2- A petroleum cut has the following ASTM D86 Distillation data:

Volume% distilled 0 10 30 50 70 90 95

Temperature (_C) 37 55 79 103 131 172 188

Convert these data to TBP data using the API method of Riazi and Daubert
and Daubert’s method. Plot the results and compare between them. And then
calculate the Watson characterization factor K if the API gravity of this
fraction is 52

Q3- Draw the apparatus used for the following types of products distillation TBP,
ASTM D86 and EFV.

Q4- Explain the three different types of hydrocarbons that crude petroleum has.

Q5- what are Physical properties of feedstocks and petroleum products?

Q6- define the Watson characterization factor and Correlation Index: (C.I). What
are thy used for?
Q7- Mention the main impurities presented in crude oil and the difficulties that may
cause them in the production fractionating process.
Q8- what are the process used to remove the different impurities before
fractionating.
Q9- find the equivalent temperature at atm pressure and vacuum (40 mm Hg) for
the following cuts using curves 3.6 and 3.7
Volume fraction 0.35 0.55 0.6 0.77 0.85 0.95
Q 10 – Classify the crude oil according to its API gravity, light, medium, heavy, and
very heavy
Q11- Volume% distilled 10 30 50 70 90

T (TBP) (C) 79.4 145.6 201.7 235.6 270.6

Convert these data to (ASTM) D86 data using the API method of Riazi and
Daubert
and Daubert’s method. Plot the results and compare between them. And then
calculate the Watson characterization factor K if the API gravity of this
fraction is 41
