Thirty crude oils, belonging to light, medium, heavy, and extra heavy, light sulfur, and high sulfur have been characterized and compatibility indices defined. Nine crude oil compatibility indices have been employed to evaluate the compatibility of crude blends from the thirty individual crude oils. Intercriteria analysis revealed the relations between the different compatibility indices, and the different petroleum properties. Tetra-plot was employed to model crude blend compatibility. The ratio of solubility blending number to insolubility number was found to best describe the desalting efficiency, and therefore could be considered as the compatible index that best models the crude oil blend compatibility. Density of crude oil and the n-heptane dilution test seem to be sufficient to model, and predict the compatibility of crude blends.

Transparent model oils are commonly used to study the flow patterns and pressure gradient of crude oil-water flow in gathering pipes. However, there are many differences between the model oil and crude oils. The existing literatures focus on the flow pattern transition and pressure gradient calculation of model oils. This paper compares two most commonly used model oils (white mineral oil and silicon oil) with Xinjiang crude oil from the perspectives of rheological properties, oil-water interfacial tensions, emulsion photomicrographs and demulsification process. It indicates that both the white mineral oil and the crude oils are pseudo plastic fluids, while silicon oil is Newtonian fluid. The viscosity-temperature relationship of white mineral oil is similar to that of the diluted crude oil, while the silicon oil presents a less viscosity gradient with the increasing temperature. The oil-water interfacial tension can be used to evaluate the oil dispersing ability in the water phase, but not to evaluate the emulsion stability. According to the Turbiscan lab and the stability test, the model oil emulsion is less stable than that of crude oil, and easier to present water separation.

Due to high importance of the crude oil to the modern society as a source of energy and as raw material for a wide chemical and petro chemical industries. In this study we made assessment of metals and heavy metals  in some Yemeni crude, and fuel oils namely Mareb crude oil blend, Masila crude oil blend plus two samples from Sounah and Hijah oil fields in Masila basin. Fifteen  metals and heavy metals were determined in above samples, but the most indicated were ( Na, K, Mg, ) and ( V, Co, Ni ) using ICP technique and atomic absorption spectroscopy . The order of concentration of metals in Yemeni crude oils were as shown in figures: Na < K < Co < Mg < V < Ni < Ca< Fe < Cd < Al< Zn < Cr < Cu < Pb < Mn. In Fuel oil: Na < Co < V < Mg < K < Ni < Ca < Fe < Al < Cd < Zn < Cr< Pb < Mn < Cu. Comparing concentrations of metals in studied sample, in general were less than in crude oil and fuel oil in many countries. That mean Yemeni crude and fuel oil are the best in quality.

Wettability is an important physical property of shale. This parameter is related to the shale material composition and the fluid properties in the shale pores and plays an important role in the exploration and development of shale oil. Wettability is affected by the scale and roughness. The contact angle at the nanoscale on a smooth surface can better reflect the wettability of shale than the contact angle at higher scales. Molecular dynamics simulations can be used to measure the contact angle on a smooth surface at the nanoscale. This paper focuses on the effects of organic matter and minerals in shale and different components of shale oil on shale wettability. Wetting models of “organic matter-oil component-water,” “quartz-oil component-water” and “kaolinite-oil component-water” at the nanoscale were constructed. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the morphological changes of different oil components and water on different surfaces. Studies have shown that organic matter is strongly oleophilic and hydrophobic. Polar components in shale oil can make organic matter slightly hydrophilic. It was recognized by quartz wettability experiments and simulation methods at the nanoscale that the cohesive energy of a liquid has a significant influence on the degree of spreading of the liquid on the surface. The “liquid–liquid–solid” wettability experiment is an effective method for determining mineral oleophilic or hydrophilic properties. The nanoquartz in the shale is strongly hydrophilic. The water wetting angle is related to the crude oil component. Nanokaolinite can have a tetrahedral or an octahedral surface; the tetrahedral surface is oleophilic and hydrophobic, and the octahedral surface exhibits strong hydrophilicity. The wettabilities of both surfaces are related to the crude oil component.
