Kazakhstan Tengiz crude oil Assay

Tengiz API gravity: 47.5

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 Tengiz crude oil per metric ton

In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Tengiz 7.96 bbl per MT.

Tengiz Sulfur: 0.47%

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.

Tengiz Specific gravity 0.791

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.
