Canada LSB crude oil Assay
LSB API gravity: 36.1
Light crude is typically in the 35-45 API range, which includes most of the highest valued crudes such as Brent and WTI.

Barrels of LSB crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. LSB 7.45 bbl per MT.
LSB Sulfur: 1.05%
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.
