You cannot measure the pH of crude oil since by definition pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. In order for hydrogen ions to exist, some amount of water must exist for the ions to dissociate into. Acidity is generally given in terms of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the oil per gram of oil (mg KOH/g).
Brent Crude is a light oil and is classified as a sweet crude. It contains 0.37% sulfur, has an API gravity of 38.06, and a specific gravity of .835.
Crude oil is oil as it comes out of the ground. it generally contains many different weights of oil compounds, sulphur, water and sediment. Crude ranges from heavy (lots of long chain molecules) to light (short chains) and sour (lots of sulphur) to sweet (little sulphur). Artificial crude many be made from very heavy oils or recovered from the liquids associated with natural gas production.
Crude Oil is a liquid.
boiling point of crude oil is depending on the main component in the crude oil itself, heavy crude for example has a higher boiling point from light crude.
The properties of Brent Crude oil are the same properties of any crude oil, density, viscosity, and solubility. Although Brent is LCO (light crude oil).
Sour crude is high in sulfur. Sweet crude is low in sulfur. Petroleum is considered "sweet" if it contains less than 0.5% sulphur. Sour crude oil has >0.5% sulphur. Sweet crude oil also contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Brent crude is extracted from the North Sea, and comprises Brent Blend, Forties Blend, Oseberg and Ekofisk crudes. Brent crude oil is usually considered as sweet crude.
Brent Crude is a light oil and is classified as a sweet crude. It contains 0.37% sulfur, has an API gravity of 38.06, and a specific gravity of .835.
This terminology depends on the sulfur content of the crude oil. Sweet crude oil contains less than 5% of sulfur, while sour contains over 5%/. In the nineteenth century, the oil would be tasted to determine its composition, and the lower sulfur content is reported to give it a slightly sweet taste and pleasant smell.
The Arabian Peninsula oil will be largely depleted of sweet crude by 2020
Crude oil is that oil that comes out of an oil well head (before it is refined). However, different oil wells produce different types of crude oil (some is thick and some is very runny)For commercial trading purposes, Brent Crude is a major classification of sweet light crude oil that serves as a major benchmark price for purchases of oil worldwide.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is of very high quality and is at refining a larger portion of gasoline. Its API gravity is 39.6 degrees, which makes it a "light" crude oil, and it contains only about 0.24 percent of sulfur (making a "sweet" crude oil). Brent Blend is actually a combination of crude oil from fifteen different oil fields located in the North Sea. It is still a "light" crude oil, but not quite as "light" as WTI, and it contains about 0.37 percent of sulfur (making it a "sweet" crude oil, but again slightly less "sweet" than WTI). Brent blend is good for making gasoline and middle distillates. WTI is more expensive than Brent.
Crude oil is a very complex mixture of hydrocarbon compounds with some inorganic compounds. Simple quality terms (light/ heavy and sour/ sweet) are defined for convenience and are inadequate terms to fully characterize the crude. However, as discussed in the links, a crude that has less than 0.5% sulfur content is sweet crude. Oil that is between 37 to 42 degrees API in density is light oil. Other definitions exist (see link), however this appears the range used for US produced crude. Light sweet crude will sell for higher prices than other grades, (Heavy sour, heavy sweet, light sour). Many countries produce light sweet crude including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Brazil, Angola, Nigeria, and the US. Please see related links.
Sweet Crude was created in 2008.
The duration of Sweet Crude is 1.55 hours.
63 dollars a barrel.
There are 3 different types of Crude Oil, 1) Light sweet (WTI= West Texas Intermediate): High-quality, Sweet oil, traded at the NYMEX (Newyork Exchange) 2) North Sea Brent (Sourced from the North Sea): Light oil 3) Oman Dubai: Sour oil (Crude oil is light if if the density is low & heavy if the density is high. Sweet if sulfur content is low and Sour if sulfur is high). Now check the day today price at market....
