Crude oil from the Chirag field

The crude oil from a promising new offshore field in Azerbaidzhan — Chirag — is light, low-sulfur, low-resin, and waxy. Its naphtha cuts are characterized by low octane numbers. They can be used as components of automotive gasolines. Brand KO-20 lamp kerosene can be obtained from light kerosene cuts. Catalytic dewaxing must be conducted on the 150–280°C cut to manufacture jet fuel. The diesel cuts are favorable feedstock for manufacturing summer diesel fuel. The potential content of base oils with a viscosity index of 75–89 is 24.64 wt. % in crude oil.Translated from Khimiya i Tekhnologiya Topliv i Masel, No. 6, pp. 35–38, November–December, 2004.     

Crude oil from the Tasbulat oil field on the Mangyshlak Peninsula

Conclusions The investigation of crude oil from the Tasbulat deposit (well 1, horizon XV) showed that this crude oil is similar in its properties to the crude oils of the deposits Uzen' and Zhetybai, which makes it possible to recover, transport and process them together.Translated from Khimiya i Tekhnologiya Topliv i Masel, No. 6, pp. 3–7, June, 1968.
