Water content in the crude oil as it comes out of oil well may be upto __________ percent.

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In petroleum refinery engineering, the water content in crude oil as it comes out of the oil well may be as high as 25 percent (Option D).

Crude oil extracted from oil wells often contains various impurities, including water, sediments, and gases. The water content in crude oil can vary depending on factors such as the geological formation of the oil reservoir and the methods used for oil extraction. In some cases, crude oil may contain significant amounts of water, up to 25 percent or more, which needs to be separated and removed during the refining process.

Therefore, the correct option is Option D: 25.
