👉 Aberdeen fluid, also known as Aberdeen crude oil or AB-57, is a type of heavy crude oil primarily extracted from the North Sea, particularly from the fields around Aberdeen in Scotland. It is characterized by its high viscosity and complex composition, including a significant amount of asphaltenes and resins, which contribute to its thick, sticky nature. This fluid is considered one of the heaviest and most challenging crude oils to process due to its high sulfur content, making it particularly demanding for refining and transportation. Despite these challenges, Aberdeen fluid has significant economic value due to its unique properties that can be leveraged in specialized applications, such as enhanced oil recovery techniques or the production of high-quality petrochemicals.
