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.

What is the meaning of Brent oil?
Brent crude oil is a "benchmark crude" oil agreed upon by various suppliers and traders of crude oil. Other crude oils are often priced based on the agreed upon benchmark crude which has a particular set of properties.
What are some of the properties of Brent Crude oil?
Brent Crude oil is a light, sweet crude oil extracted from the North Sea. It is known for its low sulfur content, which makes it easier to refine into gasoline and diesel fuel. Brent Crude is a benchmark for pricing other crude oils worldwide.

Crude oils
Can a refinery refine all crude oils?
yes
Which property is used to classify crude oils as either heavy or light?
viscosity. very viscose oils are considered "heavy", oils of low viscosity are considered "light". Oils with little sulfur are considered "sweet", oils with lots of sulfur are considered "sour". The most valuable crude oil is "light sweet".
How do you extract crude oils?
Crude oils are extracted by fractioning crude oil in a fractioning tower. They are fractioned by heating to boiling point and rising up the tower where they condensate and come out in another form.
How do we get oil from crude?
To get lots of different oils from the main crude oil you must put it into a fractional distilaltion chamber.
What are the properties difference between Refrigeration and hydraulic oils?
Hydraulic oils are substances that are hot, while refrigeration properties are cold.
How do you separate paraffin wax from crude oil?
Waxes are separated from crude oils in a process called solvent dewaxing. A limited number of crude oils are suitable for processing in the lube oil refineries that run this process. These crude oils must have a high wax content in the original crude, resulting in a high pour point, making these types of crude oils difficult to extract and process in other refinery units. See the excellent link below entitled: "The Evolution of Base Oil Technology"
How many oils are there?
There is no definite answer to your question. Every reservoir has its "Crude type" that is unique in composition. And that is the answer for "crude oils". Crude types has different viscosity - some flow easy, other can be used as roof covering once cooled down after it surface. The next is the sulfur content, and alphaltines. Crude oil is recovered with water and sand that is removed.
Is margarine made of crude oil?
Margarine is not made of crude oil but it can be produced using vegetable oil or a combination of oils. Margarine is a spreadable butter substitute that is made through a process of hydrogenation to solidify the oils. Crude oil, on the other hand, is a fossil fuel used for energy production.
Is mineral oil derived from crude oil?
Yes mineral oil is derived from crude oil. ---- No. Mineral oil is another term for vegetable oil, which is derived from the natural oils of plants, not crude.
