Abstract
The crude oils that the authors have investigated differ from those obtained in previously discovered fields of the Checheno-Ingush ASSR in having lower contents of wax, higher contents of mercaptan sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbons in the light kerosene cuts, high acidity of all distillates, low carbon residue of the residual stocks, and higher viscosity index of the lube stocks. The general direction in processing these crudes should be the fuel/oil version, obtaining the following products: a wide-cut diesel fuel either winter-grade low-sulfur fuel or a low-pour component of summer-grade diesel fuel, and also feedstocks for the production of liquid paraffins; a wide cut (350-490/sup 0/C) as cat cracker feed; and a residue above 350/sup 0/C for the production of high-V.I. distillate and residual lubes.
