Abstract

Gas condensate is a natural gas liquid (NGL) that is often found in association with natural gas deposits. It consists of hydrocarbon compounds such as ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. To produce gasoline from gas condensate, a refining process called fractional distillation is typically employed. This process separates the different components of the gas condensate based on their boiling points. The condensate is heated, and as the temperature rises, different hydrocarbons vaporize and are collected at different stages. The results of the analysis of gas condensate derived from the Khor-Mhor field, located near Cham-chamal in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, were assessed through the determination of their physical properties. The atmospheric distillation process was employed to separate the sample into two distinct boiling fractions, referred to as straight run gasoline and heavy naphtha
