Paraffins:
Make up 15 to 60% of crude
Have a carbon to hydrogen ratio of 1:2
Straight or branched chains, but never cyclic
Paraffins are the desired content in crude.
The shorter the paraffins, the lighter the crude.

Napthenes:
Make up 30 to 60% of crude
Have a carbon to hydrogen ratio of 1:2.
These are cyclic compounds/cycloparaffins.
They are higher in density than equivalent paraffins
and are more viscous.
3.Aromatics:
Make up 3 to 30% of crude.
Undesirable because burning them results in soot.
Much less hydrogen in comparison to carbon than is found
in paraffins. more viscous.
Often solid or semi-solid.
4.Asphaltics:
Average about 6% in most crude.
Have a carbon to hydrogen ratio of approximately 1:1,
making them very dense.
Generally undesirable in crude.
Excellent for use in road construction.
