Abstract

Asphaltenes precipitated from the North Sea crude oil were subjected to hydropyrolysis to determine the percentage yield of hydrocarbon from asphaltene matrix. Open column chromatography which was performed on asphaltene hydropyrolysate gave a percentage recovery of 70 %, suggesting that this process is a veritable tool for the release of hydrocarbons trapped in asphaltene matrix.
