Amenam Blend is a light sweet crude which has dramatically improved in quality since the startup of the Amenam field in 2003. It has become a light (40 API) low sulphur (< 0.1%S) crude which gives a full range of good quality products. Average production attained in mid 2006 : 200 kbd
Refining Characteristics
General Naphtha Kerosene Gasoil Vacuum distillate Residue The crude is low sulphur, it has a low metal content and produces high yields of gasoline and middle distillates with good cetane index. With an N+2A above 70, the naphtha is an excellent feedstock for gasoline production. Suitable for jet fuel production with giveaways on freezing point and aromatics content in a wide range of boiling points. High yields of gasoil with good cetane index (>51) and good cold properties. Good quality catalytic cracker feedstock : KUop factor > 12 . The residue is low sulphur allowing the production of 0.3% low sulphur fuel oil in simple refineries.
