Analysis of Sulfur Content in Selected Crude Oils in the World
The market value of a crude stream reflects its quality characteristics. The market value of an individual crude stream reflects its quality characteristics which is either characterized as sweet or sour.

| Sumario: | The market value of a crude stream reflects its quality characteristics. The market value of an individual crude stream reflects its quality characteristics which is either characterized as sweet or sour. Crude oils that are sweet (low sulfur content) are usually priced higher than sour crude oils. This study analyzed of PNA, Assay-Data Cut-Yield, True boiling-point curve and sulfur content in selected sour crude oil in the world. A 2-stage Claus Process unit was used to determine the amount of sulfur left in the crude oil and ascertain if it will meet up to the market requirement standard (≤0.5%). Assay-Data Cut-Yield and True boiling-point analysis shows that the result from this study is in the range of the FSC 432: Petroleum Data. After the simulation the following results were achieved; Maralago—2012 (0.233%), Kearl—2014 (0.247%), Soroosh—2006 (0.271%), Basrah light—2014 (0.218%), Kuwait—2015 (0.201%), Maya—2015 (0.362%), and Ratawi—2010 (0.301%). |
