Barrels of ANS crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. ANS 7.24 bbl per MT.

ANS Sulfur: 0.96%

Sulfur is considered an undesirable contaminant because, when burned, it generates sulfur oxides.

As a general rule, a crude oil grade with high sulfur content will have a lower value. This type of crude is often referred to as a sour crude.

ANS Specific gravity 0.869

Liquids with a density lower than water, which includes most crude oil grades and petroleum products, will have a specific gravity between 0.0 and 1.0.
