  Physicochemical Characterization of Niger crude for processing and transport

  By Mamane Souley Abdoul Aziz, Adouby Kopoin, Ousmane Mahamane Sani

  Abstract: Niger crude oil physic chemical properties which influence it processing and flow behavior was investigated in this study. The bulk characterization includes specific gravity, viscosity, pour point, freezing point, wax content, sulfur content, SARA fraction and the Colloidal Instability Index analyses. Results indicate that the crude oil is paraffinic, light and sweet with high wax content (24.8%).The rheological behavior studied from the viscosity variation show that it is very viscous …
