Barrels of Khafji crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Khafji 7.13 bbl per MT.
Khafji Sulfur: 2.85%
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.
