Crude/Condensate Assay

A crude oil assay is essentially the chemical evaluation of crude oil feedstock by petroleum testing laboratories. Each crude oil type has unique molecular, and chemical characteristics. No crude oil type is identical and there are crucial differences in crude oil quality. The results of crude oil assay testing provide extensive detailed hydrocarbon analysis data for refiners, oil traders, and producers. Assay data help refineries determine if a crude oil feedstock is compatible for a particular petroleum refinery or if the crude oil could cause yield, quality, production, environmental and other problems

The assay can be an inspection assay or comprehensive assay. Testing can include crude oil characterization of whole crude oils and the various boiling range fractions produced from physical or simulated distillation by various proce- dures. Information obtained from the petroleum assay is used for detailed refinery engineering and client marketing purposes. Feedstock assay data are an important tool in the refining process. With- out crude/ condensate evaluations. There is potential for loss in crude investment and/or disruptions in the refining process leading to revenue and production loss affecting the customer’s business.
