Abstract

This scientific article presents the work on the determination of the moisture content of theoilsand deposits of the Munaili-Mola, Beke, and Dongelek-sor fields were studied. To perform the obtained work, oilsands of Atyrau, Mangistau and Aqtobe regions of Western part of Kazakhstan were used as the object of research. Determination of the moisture content of oil sands were carried out using a drying furnace. Moisture of the oil sands were compared at 106 0C and 150 0C, then dried for 90 minutes. As a result, the indicators for determining the humidity of these oil raw materials at a temperature of 150 0C were higher than the indicators of the corresponding samples at 106 0C.   In the process of processing petroleum bituminous rocks by pyrolysis, the amount of moisture contained in it condenses together with evaporated hydrocarbon fractions and completely merges into the collected liquid product, increasing the amount of water in the composition. This is why it is necessary to determine the moisture content of this raw material.
