what are the properties of oil?

Depends on what type of oil. Motor oil is what first comes to mind but then there is bably oil and vegetable oil, or caster oil\n\nGeneral Characteristics\n1) doesn't mix with water\n2) liquid, usually more viscous than water\n3) composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in chains\n4) usually will float on water but some oils are more dense

oil. because something ryhmes with oil.

one major characteristic is electrical conductivity.\npropensity to super conductivity.\nMelting/triple point.\nsolubility\ndensity\nbulk modulus\nheat capacity\nferromagnetism

Different oils have different boiling points.

All hydrocarbons.  They start with gaseous methane (CH4) dissolved in the oily liquid, then through heavier dissolved gases with 2 to 5 carbon atoms per molecule, then liquids with every posible number of carbon atoms per molecule from 6 (benzene) to 8 (octane) to scores and scores, then waxes (the stuff of Vaseline) which have up to hundreds.  Sometimes there are sulphur-based impurities.\n\nRefining the oil is the process of separating the different weights of components.  Car and aeroplane fuel is roughly from C6 to C10, diesel fuel is heavier, and heating oils and lubricating oils are heaviest.

All cooking oils (vegetable, coconut, etc) are roughly the same density : ~900 kg/m^3.\n\nFor example, coconut oil is about 925 kg/m^3, olive 920, vegetable b/w 900 and 930. Also, coconut oil viscosity is 28.58 mm^2/s.

oil as it comes out of the ground is not all the same. Some contains a lot of sulfur and some is thicker than other. Light sweet crude is oil that is not too thick--does not contain a lot of heavier hydrocarbon molecules. Sweet means that it does not contain a lot of sulfur.  Light sweet crude is considered the best oil to refine. There is not a lot of sulfur to get rid of and it is easy to crack.

Basically it's a complex mathematical process to process the vibration response data obtained from siesmic excitation of an oil field to characterize the field in terms of parameters understandable to the analyst (e.g., porosity and impedance). See the ref.

Yeah.....oil is oil, it all mixes

Mineral oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a chemically inert, transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities. Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades, and can often be found in drug stores
