A gas condensate, which is produced within the production of natural gas from Khor-Mhor field, near chamchamal/Kurdistan region north of Iraq, was evaluated by determining their physical properties. Atmospheric distillation was used to produce two different boiling fractions from IBP-80°C and called straight run gasoline and 80°C-150°C named as heavy naphtha. These fractions produced directly through production of high octane rating gasoline by mixing with different additives such as oxygenates and aromatic organic solvents. The results showed that by increase of 20 vol percent of xylene anti knock index of the straight run gasoline and heavy naphtha increase by 19.75 and 19.35 points respectively.
