Abstract

The state of the art (the past 5 years, according to Scopus, Web of Science, Google Academia, Mendeley, eLibrary, and CyberLeninka databases) in the field of determining the group hydrocarbon composition of crude oil and petroleum products (SARA analysis) is discussed. Preparative and instrumental methods for the group composition analysis are considered. These include chromatography (liquid adsorption chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, two-dimensional liquid chromatography), extraction (solid-phase extraction), and nuclear magnetic resonance. Separate attention is paid to mathematical modeling for predicting the SARA composition of various petroleum objects.
