Different refinery configurations are investigated for upgrading projects to increase gasoline production for local market demand. Libya is an important contributor to the global supply of light and sweet crude. It has five domestic refineries, all of which are simple hydro-skimming units. This work presents a theoretical approach for upgrading of atmospheric and vacuum residue derived from the heaviest Libyan crude oil. Obtained results show that option 3, which included delayed coking, has...

Fourteen shore water samples (denoted as w) from west of Tripoli shoreline, were examined for their petroleum hydrocarbon contents by gravimetric and spectroscopy analysis. Known amounts of beach water (w) were extracted with a suitable volume of chloroform (CHCl₃). The extracts were measured spectrophotometrically through calibration curves of absorptions at 410nm and 260nm to determine the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons. Infrared analysis was also conducted on hydrocarbons...
The material balance MB method is a powerful technique used to study reservoir performance and describing the important properties of the reservoir, including the estimates of original oil in place, and the strength of aquifer. It also provides the understanding of drive mechanisms at work, such as solution gas, water influx, and gas cap. This study aims to determine the original oil in place of the Farrud reservoir using both Volumetric & Material Balance...

Understanding the PVT parameters is essential for various petroleum calculations, including the assessment of hydrocarbon flow characteristics, forecasting future performance, designing production facilities, and strategizing enhanced oil recovery methods. Ideally, the PVT properties of hydrocarbons are derived from laboratory analyses conducted on either bottom-hole samples or recombined surface samples. However, laboratory data may not always be accessible due to economic or technical...
