Abstract

The results of studies of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of heavy oil samples from the Timan Pechersk, Volga Ural oil and gas basins are presented. Knowledge of the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of crude oil, along with the particularities of geological and geochemical conditions is of paramount importance for solving the problems of the origin of crude oil and its subsequent processing. Information on the chemical composition of oil allows you to combine samples of crude oil from various fields before refining to achieve the necessary commercial and technical characteristics. 59.7-60.5% of β-CH3 groups were found in the samples, in β-CH2 and CH-groups to the aromatic ring, as well as the content of CH2- and CH-groups of saturated compounds. Dividing 13C NMR spectra into ranges shows a high content of methyl groups with the number of CH-groups in the alkyl fragments and CH and CH2-alkyl groups of naphthenic moieties attached to CH-group being 14.37-24.17%. A specific range of values is from 9.4 to 11.4 ppm. indicates methyl substituted octane, nonane or decane. It was found that the content of primary and secondary carbon atoms was in the range from 59.4-60.7%. The studied samples possess branched alkane chains. Comparison of the content of aromatic / aliphatic components allows us to determine the sample of the Volga Ural basin as a sample with a high content of aromatic component. The content of aromatic fragments varies in a wider range of 17-25.9%. From the data of 1H NMR-spectra of samples of heavy oils with different origin, viscosity and treatment it was found that crude and refined oils can differ in the content of olefin signals.
