Barrels of Palanca crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Palanca 7.5 bbl per MT.
Palanca Sulfur: 0.18%
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.
