 were analyzed and evaluated. From each crude oil two types of different boiling ranges (300ºC+ and 350ºC+) fuel oils were produced. All crude oil samples and fuel oils were evaluated using ASTM standard methods of testing, and compared to Iraqi specification of fuel oils. The results showed that all fuel oils are within the Iraqi specification except that produced from Tawki crude oil, which are higher in sulfur content (4.28%w/w for 300ºC+ and 5.0 %w/w for 350ºC+ fuel oils). Elemental analysis done for all crude oil samples and fuel oils, showed the highest Vanadium content in Tawki crude oil with (10 ppm) and also the highest Vanadium content in fuel oils produced from Tawki crude oil with (36 ppm for 300ºC+ and 40 ppm for 350ºC+ fuel oils), other metal content of all crude oils and fuel oils are below these value.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/902.jpg)

Five different Kurdistan crude oils produced in various fields (namely Swara tuka, Miran, Khurmala, shiwashok and Tawki) were analyzed and evaluated. From each crude oil two types of different boiling ranges (300ºC+ and 350ºC+) fuel oils were produced. All crude oil samples and fuel oils were evaluated using ASTM standard methods of testing, and compared to Iraqi specification of fuel oils. The results showed that all fuel oils are within the Iraqi specification except that produced from Tawki crude oil, which are higher in sulfur content (4.28%w/w for 300ºC+ and 5.0 %w/w for 350ºC+ fuel oils). Elemental analysis done for all crude oil samples and fuel oils, showed the highest Vanadium content in Tawki crude oil with (10 ppm) and also the highest Vanadium content in fuel oils produced from Tawki crude oil with (36 ppm for 300ºC+ and 40 ppm for 350ºC+ fuel oils), other metal content of all crude oils and fuel oils are below these value.
