Kerosene boiling range or jet fuel boiling range compositions are provided that are formed from crude oils with, unexpected combinations of high naphthenes to aromatics weight and/or volume ratio and a low sulfur content The resulting kerosene boiling range fractions can have an unexpected combination of a high naphthenes to aromatics wight ratio, a low but substantial aromatics content, and a low sulfur content. Such fractions can potentially be used as fuel alter a reduced or minimized amount of additional refinery processing. By reducing, minimizing, or avoiding the amount of refinery processing needed to meet fuel and/or fuel blending product specifications, the fractions derived, from the high naphthenes to aromatics ratio and low sulfur crudes can provide fuels and/or fuel blending products having a. reduced or minimized carbon intensity. |
