Iran Iran Heavy crude oil Assay

Iran Heavy API gravity: 30.7

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

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Iran Heavy crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Iran Heavy 7.21 bbl per MT.

Iran Heavy Sulfur: 1.8%

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.

Iran Heavy Specific gravity 0.872

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.
