Abstract Molecular level characterization to identify and measure the deposits from the petroleum fluids were performed. The crude oil deposit was obtained from tanks located at Artawi field in south of Iraq /Basrah. Separation by centrifuge and filtration were used to prepare the sample. The samples were fractionated into three layers (upper part deposit sticky, middle part water and lower part deposit soil). The chemical compounds in the crude oil deposit were characterized by using ultra-high resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) along with (+) mode atmospheric photoionization (APPI) and (-) mode Electrospray Ionization (ESI) ion source. FT-ICR MS analysis provides comprehensive heteroatoms class distribution. The deposit of crude oils yielded distributions of hydrocarbons and heteroatoms. The results of such analysis showed the hydrocarbons are more abundant in the oil deposit soil, while the crude oil and deposit of crude oil sticky showed the heteroatoms are more abundant than hydrocarbons. Therefore, these procedures provide an understanding of the overall behavior of the species that precipitate as well as of the interactions among those compounds.
