To determine concentration of paraffins and asphaltenes in oil, three crude oil samples are extracted; two extracted samples are dissolved in a solvent and the solvent alongside with light oil fractions is then removed; meanwhile, asphaltenes are removed from one of the solvent-treated samples. A nucleic magnetic resonance method is employed for measuring free inductance drop-down curves for all three samples; thereafter, a ratio of solid hydrogen-containing fractions suspended in oil, to liquid hydrogen-containing fractions is defined. The paraffin concentration is judged by the content of solid hydrogen-containing fractions in the solvent-treated sample, from which asphaltenes have been removed. The asphaltene concentration is judged by the content of solid hydrogen-containing fractions in the other solvent-treated sample, with the consideration of the defined concentration of paraffins. The concentration of paraffins and asphaltenes in original oil is determined based on the defined paraffin-to-asphaltene ratio in solid hydrogen-containing fractions. | 04-08-2010 |
