Russia Sakhalin Blend crude oil Assay

Sakhalin Blend API gravity: 44.7

Light crude is typically in the 35-45 API range, which includes most of the highest valued crudes such as Brent and WTI. Tim Fitzgibbon

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Sakhalin Blend crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Sakhalin Blend 7.83 bbl per MT.

Sakhalin Blend Sulfur: 0.16%

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.

Sakhalin Blend Specific gravity 0.803

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.
