This report presents a thorough cost evaluation of base oil produced from crude oil via hydrocracking. The crude oil is treated at 400 °C and at high pressure conditions throughout this process. High-boiling hydrocarbons in crude oil are cracked into low-boiling fuels such as gasoline and kerosene in the presence of hydrogen. The next step is hydroisomerization, which converts normal paraffin waxes into isoparaffin structures. The final step (hydrotreating) removes unwanted components like sulfur and nitrogen and fully saturates chemical bonds using hydrogen to produce Base Oil.
