Algeria Saharan Blend crude oil Assay

Saharan Blend API gravity: 46

Crudes lighter than 45 are typically considered extra-light crude or condensates and are valued lower than light crude because they contain a lot of light ends such as propane and butane. Tim Fitzgibbon

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Saharan Blend crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Saharan Blend 7.89 bbl per MT.

Saharan Blend Sulfur: 0.1%

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.

Saharan Blend Specific gravity 0.797

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.
