United States Thunder Horse crude oil Assay
Thunder Horse API gravity: 31.5
Anything below 15 API would be considered an extra-heavy crude. Tim FitzgibbonMore API

API = (141.5/Specific Gravity) - 131.5
Barrels of Thunder Horse crude oil per metric ton
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. Thunder Horse 7.24 bbl per MT.
Thunder Horse Sulfur: 0.96%
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.

Thunder Horse Specific gravity 0.868
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.Production of petroleum products from crude oil Thunder Horse
