A crude oil assay is the compositional

evaluation o crude oil eedstocks perormed

by laboratory experts. Each crude oil type has

unique molecular, chemical characteristics. No

crude oil type is identical and there are crucial

dierences in crude oil quality. The results o

crude oil assay testing provide extensive detailed

hydrocarbon and compositional analysis or

refners, oil traders and producers. Assay data

assists engineers and refners in determining i a

crude oil eedstock is compatible or a particular

petroleum refnery or i the crude oil could cause

 yield, quality, production, environmental and

other problems.

Crude evaluations can be extensive as crude

oil quality is very important. Testing can include

crude oil characterization o whole crude oils

and the various boiling range ractions produced

rom physical or simulated distillation by various

procedures. Inormation obtained rom the

assay is used or detailed refnery engineering

and client marketing purposes. Without crude

evaluations, there is potential or loss in crude

investments and/or disruptions in the refning

process leading to revenue and production loss

aecting the customer’s business.
