  7. Abstract:
  8. Energy system of each country include of extraction, processing, conversion, transportation and distribution levels. Crude oil is one of the energy carrier which has dominant share to meet energy demand in industry and transportation sectors. Therefore, studying of physical properties changes of this energy carrier during production period is obligatory. The goal of this research is to model quality reduction of crude oil during production period of naturally occurring reservoirs. In this research quality of crude oil has been investigated inside of reservoir and after production and the effect of quality changes in before mentioned conditions according to cumulative production of reservoirs has been achieved. Respectively, the viscosity and API degree of reservoir fluid has been considered as quality parameters in both cases. To model crude oil delivery systems of Iran, three categories of reservoir fluids are considered. Light crude (API°=32), moderate crude (API°=26) and heavy crude (API°=18) are assumed. Also, export for each kind of crude oil is possible in this model. Optimized model output suggests that FCC and Delay Coking technologies which are producing more light products are selected in different time periods
