Canada Syncrude  crude oil Assay

Syncrude  API gravity: 33

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

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5

Barrels of Syncrude  crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Syncrude  7.31 bbl per MT.

Syncrude  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.

Syncrude  Specific gravity 0.86

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.
