Nigeria Bonga crude oil Assay
Bonga API gravity: 29.1
Anything below 15 API would be considered an extra-heavy crude. Tim FitzgibbonMore API

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5
Barrels of Bonga crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Bonga 7.14 bbl per MT.
Bonga Sulfur: 0.29%
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.

Bonga Specific gravity 0.881
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.Production of petroleum products from crude oil Bonga
