United States Mars crude oil Assay

Mars API gravity: 28

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

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Mars crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Mars 7.09 bbl per MT.

Mars Sulfur: 1.93%

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.

Mars Specific gravity 0.887

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.
