Bow River API gravity: 24.7

Anything below 15 API would be considered an extra-heavy crude. Tim FitzgibbonA medium crude is in the 25-35 API range, and a heavy crude is in the 15-25 API range Tim Fitzgibbon

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Bow River crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Bow River 6.94 bbl per MT.

Bow River Sulfur: 2.1%

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.

Bow River Specific gravity 0.906

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.
