=====================
Not all crude oil is alike. There are three primary qualities that differentiate one oil from another: Weight (API Gravity), Sweetness (Sulfur Content), and TAN count (Total Acid Number). While the ideal oil is light and sweet, there are over 100 different crude oils traded on the market today, including the benchmark crude oils of OPEC, WTI, and BRENT.

I feel bad for QC/QA employees in the petroleum industry that have to taste the oil to see if it is sweet or sour. 😢

@darmony9153 Год назад

I understand they are paid very well.

@richdobbs6595 2 года назад

Interesting. I had never heard of TAN count. I worked at an oil refinery in Louisiana for four years back in the 1980s. It processed heavy sour crude, so it probably had a pretty high TAN count.

@brianirwin5296 2 года назад

Thanks. This was clear, concise and very informative. Where do Canadian varieties fall on this spectrum?

@KimrayInc 2 года назад

Canadian oils are heavy, some are as low as API gravity 8.5. Injecting steam and hydrocarbons is sometimes needed to produce these extra heavy oils.

@sureshkumarmanokaran4099 2 года назад

Can we mix different types of crude oil during refining process ?

@KimrayInc 2 года назад

Yes, you can. Typically different gravity oils will be mixed together or hydrocarbons will be added before transport or processing to create more efficiency.

Has there been a fosil found below 16k feet?

@andrealomb4649 Год назад

How about the Venezuelan oil? How about the API of that oil? Thanks fot this video

@cnmg7121 Год назад

You probably already know it by now, it's one of the worst crude oils in the world. It's among the heaviest and sourest.

@ia8018 6 месяцев назад

Low quality and expensive to prroduce.

@teresaraney2147 Год назад

Where does condensate come in on this oil graph?

@KimrayInc Год назад

Condensate is not on these charts because it is a product of natural gas.

@user-bm6xr9gl5o 10 месяцев назад

In the video says that 39.7 API considered as heavier oil. but in the end of the video WTI 39.7 considered as light crude oil. PLease,explain, im confused.

@KimrayInc 10 месяцев назад

That does make sense that it sounds confusing. For the oil samples that we first show, the heaviest sample is 39.7 API, so it was on the "heavier" side compared to our 70 API sample. It isn't truly "heavy", but it was compared to the other samples. In the larger picture of crude oil density, 39.6 is on the "lighter" side of the spectrum. So, while the first image made it look like 39.7 was heavy, it was just in comparison to the other samples in that image.

@user-bm6xr9gl5o 10 месяцев назад

@@KimrayInc oooooh, thank you. So it means different oils have different density and that is why for some 39.6 is heavy, and for some it is light? am i understand you right?

@GeovaniLopesDias 4 месяца назад

@user-bm6xr9gl5o I think is all about perspective. Something is taller only compared to other thing. So, an oil is heavy in some context due to what is it being compared to. He is heavy if its index is greater than the others. It can, I suppose, be heavy in a context of application. In general, a oil couldn't not be particularly heavy, but it is if you desired to produce some good in particular, such as petrol, which is more abundant in light oils.

Hello Kimray! My name is WADERO MARTIN from Uganda a student of kyambogo University requesting for your help. We know the boiling point of natural gas is -162°C, the question is what happens to natural gas if u heat it above that value?

@daslavas6271 Год назад

the boiling point is where the phase change occurs from liquid to gaz, in ambient temperature gaz is already above its boiling point (no need to heat it)
