Mexico Maya crude oil Assay
Maya API gravity: 22
Anything below 15 API would be considered an extra-heavy crude.
Tim FitzgibbonA medium crude is in the 25-35 API range, and a heavy crude is in the 15-25 API range

Barrels of Maya crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Maya 6.82 bbl per MT.
Maya Sulfur: 3.3%
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.
