CRUDE OIL FROM THE GUNESHLI DEEP-WATER OIL FIELD
The results of studying crude oil from the Guneshli deep-water oil field are reported. The oil is light, low-sulfur, low-resin, waxy crude. The naphtha cut is characterized by a low octane number. Brand KO-20 clarified kerosene and brand TS-1 jet fuel can be obtained from the light kerosene cuts, while local-grade diesel can be obtained from the diesel cuts. The potential content of base oils with a viscosity index of 72-85 in the crude is 31.4 wt. %. The crude can be refined with the fuel-oil scheme.
