function of an oilfield installation.
Conversion factor the percentage of feedstock converted to light ends, gasoline, other liquid fuels, and
coke.
Copper sweetening processes involving the oxidation of mercaptans to disulfides by oxygen in the
presence of cupric chloride.
Core floods laboratory flow tests through samples (cores) of porous rock.
Co-surfactant a chemical compound, typically alcohol, that enhances the effectiveness of a surfactant.
Cp (centipoise) a unit of viscosity.
Craig–Geffen–Morse method a method for predicting oil recovery by water flood.
Cracked residua residua that have been subjected to temperatures above 3508C (6608F) during the
distillation process.
Cracking the thermal processes by which the constituents of petroleum are converted to lower molecular
weight products.
Cracking activity see Catalytic activity.
Cracking coil equipment used for cracking heavy petroleum products consisting of a coil of heavy pipe
running through a furnace, so that the oil passing through it is subject to high temperature.
Cracking still the combined equipment-furnace, reaction chamber, fractionator for the thermal conversion of heavier feedstocks to lighter products.Cracking temperature the temperature (3508C; 6608F) at which the rate of thermal decomposition of
petroleum constituents becomes significant.
Criteria air pollutants air pollutants or classes of pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection
Agency; the air pollutants are (including Volatile organic compounds): ozone, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and lead.
Cross-linking combining of two or polymer molecules by use of a chemical that mutually bonds with a
part of the chemical structure of the polymer molecules.
Crude assay a procedure for determining the general distillation characteristics (e.g., distillation profile,
q.v.) and other quality information of crude oil.
Crude oil see Petroleum.
Crude scale wax the wax product from the first sweating of the slack wax.
Crude still distillation (q.v.) equipment in which crude oil is separated into various products.
Cumene a colorless liquid [C6H5CH(CH3)2] used as an aviation gasoline blending component and as an
intermediate in the manufacture of chemicals.
Cut point the boiling-temperature division between distillation fractions of petroleum.
Cutback the term applied to the products from blending heavier feedstocks or products with lighter oils
to bring the heavier materials to the desired specifications.
Cutback asphalt asphalt liquefied by the addition of a volatile liquid such as naphtha or kerosene which,
after application and on exposure to the atmosphere, evaporates leaving the asphalt.
Cutting oil an oil to lubricate and cool metal-cutting tools; also called cutting fluid, cutting lubricant.
