15. An electronic device comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by the at least one processors of an electronic device, are to cause the electronic device to:
identify a plurality of components of a petroleum sample according to at least one speciation technique;
determine respective atmospheric equivalent boiling points (AEBPs) for respective ones of the plurality of components;
determine a boiling curve for the petroleum sample based on the respective AEBPs;
output an indication of the boiling curve for the petroleum sample; and
determine that the at least one speciation technique identifies an entirety of the plurality of components of the petroleum sample or a portion of the plurality of components of the petroleum sample by comparing the determined boiling curve for the petroleum sample with a true boiling curve obtained by actual distillation.
