Interesting. I had never heard of TAN count. I worked at an oil refinery in Louisiana for four years back in the 1980s. It processed heavy sour crude, so it probably had a pretty high TAN count.
Yes, you can. Typically different gravity oils will be mixed together or hydrocarbons will be added before transport or processing to create more efficiency.
Hello Kimray! My name is WADERO MARTIN from Uganda a student of kyambogo University requesting for your help. We know the boiling point of natural gas is -162°C, the question is what happens to natural gas if u heat it above that value?
the boiling point is where the phase change occurs from liquid to gaz, in ambient temperature gaz is already above its boiling point (no need to heat it)
In the video says that 39.7 API considered as heavier oil. but in the end of the video WTI 39.7 considered as light crude oil. PLease,explain, im confused.
That does make sense that it sounds confusing. For the oil samples that we first show, the heaviest sample is 39.7 API, so it was on the "heavier" side compared to our 70 API sample. It isn't truly "heavy", but it was compared to the other samples. In the larger picture of crude oil density, 39.6 is on the "lighter" side of the spectrum. So, while the first image made it look like 39.7 was heavy, it was just in comparison to the other samples in that image.
@@KimrayInc oooooh, thank you. So it means different oils have different density and that is why for some 39.6 is heavy, and for some it is light? am i understand you right?
@user-bm6xr9gl5o I think is all about perspective. Something is taller only compared to other thing. So, an oil is heavy in some context due to what is it being compared to. He is heavy if its index is greater than the others. It can, I suppose, be heavy in a context of application. In general, a oil couldn't not be particularly heavy, but it is if you desired to produce some good in particular, such as petrol, which is more abundant in light oils.
I feel bad for QC/QA employees in the petroleum industry that have to taste the oil to see if it is sweet or sour. 😢
I understand they are paid very well.
Serious？
😆😆
you make my life easier, thank you.

Thanks. This was clear, concise and very informative. Where do Canadian varieties fall on this spectrum?
Canadian oils are heavy, some are as low as API gravity 8.5. Injecting steam and hydrocarbons is sometimes needed to produce these extra heavy oils.
@@KimrayInc Thanks. Again, I enjoyed the video.
What about the Venezuela 🇻🇪 oil products? It has 500billion dollers oil and gas resources, which API category they fallen..
Venezuelaan oil is heavy with high sulphur content meaning it's of low quality and needs more refining.@@engrmohammadhunain-jp6mi
Very good presentation. Thank you.
This is a really great video. Thanks
Verry informitive. Thank you sir.
Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
very informative!
Price ranges by grade would be interesting. Thak you for your informative video.
Where is Venezuelas Oil on the Spektrum?
Thanks
very useful
Great video and educational. I learned something new.
Why Reliance want Venezuela sour oil can you tell that
Please, where does Brazilian oil falls on the list (spectrum)??
Can you make a video about bonny light much love from 🇳🇬
Has there been a fosil found below 16k feet?
Can we mix different types of crude oil during refining process ?
Yes, you can. Typically different gravity oils will be mixed together or hydrocarbons will be added before transport or processing to create more efficiency.
Thanks a lot, that was so useful
Where does Sudan lays on the chart though?
Why is the USA trying to get the extra heavy oil from Venezuela, if it's not very suitable for gasoline o diesel production?
heavy crude is convenient for producing Petro chemicals
I tried sweet oil but it wasnt very sweet🤢

Where does pyrolysis oil used for?
How about the Venezuelan oil? How about the API of that oil? Thanks fot this video
You probably already know it by now, it's one of the worst crude oils in the world. It's among the heaviest and sourest.
Low quality and expensive to prroduce.
How much oil does the Earth make?
Where does condensate come in on this oil graph?
Condensate is not on these charts because it is a product of natural gas.
> 10°API = Lighter
And yes they use to taste it back in the day.
😂
Bruh 🗣🔥
👍👍👍👍👍
In French please, thanks
