ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: The physicochemical parameters and some contaminants of crude oil samples from the Received: 12 November 2012; Jubilee oil field at Cape Three Points, western region and Saltpond oil field in Central region Received in revised form: of Ghana were analyzed to classify and assess the quality of the crude oils. The 27 December 2012; physicochemical parameters determined were density, specific gravity, API, pour point, total Accepted: 11 January 2013; sulphur content, salt in crude, total acid number, viscosity, reid vapour pressure and ash weight whereas the contaminants measured were water and sediments. Results from the Keywords physicochemical parameters for both samples showed a perfect Pearson’s correlation (r ≈1). Jubilee crude oil, Low water and sediments levels (<1%) were recorded for both crude oils. This is an Saltpond crude oil, indication of low or minimal microbial growth and reduced ability of both crude oils to serve Physicochemical parameters, as a collector of water soluble metals and salts.
