Types of Crude Oil
Crude oil is not a one-size-fits-all commodity; it comes in various types, each with unique characteristics and applications. The primary types of crude oil we supply include:
- Light Crude Oil
Light crude oil has a low density and high API gravity, making it easier to refine into valuable products such as gasoline and diesel. It is favoured for its higher yields of high-value products. - Medium Crude Oil
This type has a moderate density and is used in refining processes to produce a balanced mix of fuels and other products. It provides versatility in refining operations. - Heavy Crude Oil
Heavy crude oil has a high density and low API gravity, requiring more complex and energy-intensive refining processes. It is often used to produce asphalt, heavy fuel oils, and other industrial products. - Sour Crude Oil
Sour crude oil contains higher levels of sulphur, making it less desirable for refining into clean fuels. However, it can still be processed to produce various products and is often more competitively priced.
Products Derived from Crude Oil
Crude oil is a precursor to numerous products that fuel our daily lives and industries. Key products derived from crude oil include:
- Gasoline: A primary fuel for vehicles, refined from light crude oil.
- Diesel: Used in transportation and heavy machinery, derived from both light and medium crude oils.
- Jet Fuel: Essential for aviation, refined from kerosene-type crude oils.
- Heating Oil: Used for residential and commercial heating, derived from medium and heavy crude oils.
- Asphalt: A byproduct of heavy crude oil, used in road construction and roofing.
- Petrochemicals: Crude oil is a source for various chemicals used in plastics, fertilizers, and synthetic materials.
