Comparing physico-chemical properties of oil fields of Nigeria and Ukraine

The problem of crude oil deficit for Ukrainian refineries has been considered. To solve this problem the import of crude from Nigeria has been proposed. Physico-chemical properties of Nigerian oils, namely their fractional composition, potential yield of light fractions were investigated and compared with physico-chemical characteristics of Ukrainian crude oils. The possibility of Nigerian oils processing at JSC “Ukrtatnafta” (Ukraine) was grounded.
