Abstract
This study investigated the physico-chemical properties and component composition of four crude oils from Syrian oilfields. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas–liquid chromatography (GLC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry was used to identify structural-group composition of oils and molecular characteristics of extracted asphaltenes and resins. Results demonstrated an increase in aromaticity coefficient and a decrease in aliphaticity coefficient in the sequence: oil → resins → asphaltenes. Bituminous oil, containing the highest total content of resins and asphaltenes (>25.0 %) and predominant bicyclic aromatic structures (17.7 %), demonstrated a high tendency for structure formation and low aggregative stability, primarily due to asphaltene precipitation. Rheological studies revealed significant viscosity increases at +10 °C in oil with high resin asphaltene content due to asphaltene aggregation. At −10 °C, structure formation occurred through solid paraffin crystallization, with paraffinic oil showing the highest energy of oil dispersed system structure destruction (ODS). The study demonstrates the influence of high-molecular oil compounds’ structural-group composition on structure formation in the oil system.
