Crude oil maturity refers to the stage in its formation and evolution where it has experienced enough heat and pressure to transform organic matter into hydrocarbons. This process occurs over millions of years and determines the quality and composition of the crude oil. High maturity levels result in mature or highly developed crude oil, which typically has a higher percentage of light hydrocarbons.


Who has the best quality crude oil in the world?

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.

Why does crude Oil not dissolve in water?

Crude oil is hydrophobic, which means it repels water and is not soluble in it. This is due to the nonpolar nature of the hydrocarbon molecules in crude oil, which do not interact well with the polar molecules in water. As a result, crude oil will not dissolve in water but will float on its surface.
