Abstract

See full text

A method for recalculating the solvent power of a light oil, SP(LO recalculated), is provided. The method comprises:

    titrating the light oil against a reference oil, optionally in the presence of a titrant, to determine a volume fraction of the light oil at the onset of asphaltene precipitation, V(onset fraction LO), a volume fraction of the reference oil at the onset of asphaltene precipitation, V(onset fraction RO), and, where a titrant is present, a volume fraction of the titrant at the onset of asphaltene precipitation, V(onset fraction T), anddetermining the recalculated solvent power of the light oil, SP(LO recalculated), according to the following formula:
