Abstract :
The study of relationships governing the variability of quality of Eurasian oils has been carried out on the basis of the statistical processing of data chosen from a database on petroleum chemistry which includes more than 9,000 entries of oil physical-chemical data on all the main world oil-bearing basins. It is shown that the crude oils in Eurasia contain paraffin wax (5.3%), sulfur (1%), asphaltene-resin substances (12.3%) and fractions IBP 350°C (53.4%). Latitudinal and longitudinal dependencies of integrated oil quality indicator were studied. It is shown that quality of oils is statistically inhomogeneous in Eurasia depending on geographic position of the oil-bearing basins.
