The various hydrocarbon compounds that are mixed together in crude oil have
different boiling.points, but apart from: the lightest, the differences between

segregated but overlap instead. For example typice11 boiling ranges can be:

classifies crude oils as. paraffin base, naphthene base, or mixed base by

on the type of crude charged to the refinery and the products to be made.
