New Technologies in Crude Oil Assay Evaluation

Light Distillates Medium Distillates Heavy Distillates Residua  

Once the laboratory work is finished, the preliminary assay obtained must be checked with computer assay synthesis models to assure consistency in the distribution of each property between the crude oil and the fractions. 

Several references have suggested the need for alternative crude oil evaluation methods. These alternative methods (both analytical and mathematical) should allow keeping the assay information updated under a reasonable cost.
