## Abstract Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) has been demonstrated to be an effective and reproducible sample pretreatment procedure for removal of heavy oil matrices prior to GC‐AED analysis of metalloporphyrins, and for the resolution of volatile metal species into clean and defined fractions.

✦ Synopsis
The contact of acid with crude oil generates a reaction product known as acid-sludge which has been interpreted as polymerised asphaltenes due to Friedel±Crafts reactions. A size-exclusion chromatographic analysis of crude oils and fractions showed, however, that acid-sludge is composed of small molecules. The greatest increase in molecular weight was observed for the nonpolar fractions. The results could be explained by assuming surfactant-like behaviour of protonated basic crude oil components. Aggregate formation, therefore, explains the higher molecular weights observed.
