What is dead crude?

Crude oil comes from the reservoir as live crude, containing methane and other lower carbon compounds that are liberated as the pressure is reduced (in the reservoir, in the well, in the separator or storage battery) and the crude is allowed to cool. Dead crude is degassed crude meaning no more gas is likely to be liberated. The volumetric measurement of crude is normally done at "standard conditions" of atmospheric pressure and 60 degrees F, although standards vary.
