Processing Lunpola Crude Oil

Abstract

The characteristics of crude oil from Lunpola of Xizang were studied, and the properties of different fractions were analyzed. The results indicated that this crude has great density and viscosity, solidifying points are high, and water cut is especially high. It is rich in wax and resin, but less in asphaltene, which belongs to low-sulfur intermediate-based crude oil. Looking at these characteristics, water cut oil should be more than 90°C, while dehydrated crude should be more than 100°C when it is stored, freighted, gathered, and transported; otherwise, these things will be more difficult. A reasonable processing scheme was put forward for producing diesel oil, paraffin, lube stock, and road asphalt, because it does not have a gasoline fraction but has a high diesel oil fraction and cetane number.
