TESTING MODIFIED EVAPORATIVE FRACTIONATION IN A CLOSED SYSTEM FOR SELECTED MALAY BASIN OILS

The study areas that have been chosen are Malay Basin and Sabah Basin.
Malay Basin is situated in the southern part of the Gulf of Thailand, between Vietnam
and Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah Basin is situated in the northern part of the island of
Borneo and has a complex structural history. The primary objectives of this study are
to study the characteristics of oil in reservoir rock with geochemical evaluation of the
oil characters and to test the alteration of reservoir oil by modified evaporative
fractionation technique.
