Kazakhstan CPC crude oil Assay

CPC API gravity: 46.6

Crudes lighter than 45 are typically considered extra-light crude or condensates and are valued lower than light crude because they contain a lot of light ends such as propane and butane. Tim Fitzgibbon

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of CPC crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. CPC 7.92 bbl per MT.

CPC Sulfur: 0.55%

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.

CPC Specific gravity 0.794

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.
