Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to predict optimum refining strategy to fractionatevarious Iraqi crude oils into lighter fractions depending on market monthly demand along oneyear.The monthly consumption of gasoline, kerosene and diesel was calculated and geneticalgorithm optimization method was used to calculate optimum cut points and blending ratio ofthree different crude oils (light Basrah, heavy Basrah and Kirkuk).The results prove that manipulation cut points within a year for a blend of three crude oils willdecrease 12.8% of distilled crude oil to produce the required amount of light cuts produced byrefining single crude oil.
