oil field

Can you, please, check it?

Should I replave characteristics with properties in the context? Is oil field ok?



Chemical composition and physical characteristics/properties of oil vary according to certain oil fields. The value of oil depends primarily on the content of light fractions (petrol, petroleum and gas oil) and on the amount of sulphur. The more light fractions there are and the less sulfur there is, the oil is more valuable.

The value of oil depends primarily on the content of light fractions (petrol, petroleum and gas oil) and on the amount of sulphur. The more light fractions there are and the less sulfur there is, the more valuable the oil is.

  • The value of oil depends primarily on the content of light fractions (petrol, petroleum and gas oil) and on the amount of sulphur.
  • The more light fractions there are and the less sulfur there is, the more valuable the oil is.
  • Both are fine, but properties is a more 'chemical' word, and that's what I would choose.
  • Certain is odd, and I have deleted it and adjusted the phrase.

I think i can improve on your middle sentence. See what you think...

The value of oil primarily depends on the recoverable content of the lighter fractions ( those used for petrol, petroleum and gas oils) and on the sulphur content.

The more lighter fractions present and less sulphur content, makes the oil more valuable.

Thank you Mister Micawber, Alan and Squeaky.
