Abstract
A computer-implemented method of characterizing metal content and chemical composition of crude oil, including determining at least one respective organometallic class and subclass derived from physical and chemical property data for each organometallic class and crude oil physical and chemical property data and at least one segment type and segment number range of the segment type bound to each organometallic subclass. The method determines a relative ratio of each organometallic class and subclass that forms a chemical composition representative of the given crude oil, such that the determined relative ratio and the determined respective organometallic class and subclass, segment type, and segment number range form a characterization of the metal content and the chemical composition of the given crude oil, resulting in a display, as output to an end-user, of the formed characterization of the metal content and the chemical composition of the given crude oil.
