Light crude oil

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002158

Crude oil with a low density and low viscosity, making it easier to produce and refine into high-value products like gasoline and diesel. It is characterized by an API gravity greater than 31.1 degrees. This type of crude typically contains a higher proportion of lighter hydrocarbon fractions compared to heavy crude oil.
