Oils from the Gulf Field are characterized by relatively high percentages of asphalt and low percentages of the lighter gravity distillation products. Considerable sulphur is present, much of which, however, is in the form of sulphureted hydrogen, and is easily removed by steam before refining or utilizing the oil as fuel. Oils from Wyoming and Colorado are in the main of paraffin base, suitable for refining...
