Saudi Arabia Arab Heavy crude oil Assay

Arab Heavy API gravity: 28

Anything below 15 API would be considered an extra-heavy crude. Tim Fitzgibbon

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Arab Heavy crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Arab Heavy 7.09 bbl per MT.

Arab Heavy Sulfur: 2.8%

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.

Arab Heavy Specific gravity 0.887

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.
