Abstract This study analyzes Libyan crude oil from the Sedra oil export terminal to determine its suitability for diesel fuel production. The primary aim is to assess the crude oil's potential for yielding high-quality diesel. It is widely recognized that higher-quality raw materials can significantly reduce production costs in fuel processing. An essential aspect of the research focuses on the fraction that evaporates within the temperature range of 180–350ºC, considered the most relevant for producing diesel fuel. The study also investigates the sulfur content in the distilled fractions, along with the boiling points and the detailed hydrocarbon compositions—both individual and grouped—of the diesel fraction derived from Sedra crude oil.
