Kinetic study of heavy crude oils by thermal analysis

The present work investigates the thermal behavior and kinetic of four types of petroleum samples: a medium crude oil—P1, one heavy oil—P2, and two extra heavy oils—P3 and P4 by TG, DTG, and DSC methods. Thus, this study may contribute to the characterization of petroleum with different °API values....

Summary:The present work investigates the thermal behavior and kinetic of four types of petroleum samples: a medium crude oil—P1, one heavy oil—P2, and two extra heavy oils—P3 and P4 by TG, DTG, and DSC methods. Thus, this study may contribute to the characterization of petroleum with different °API values.
