All of this is reason to end the #oil #addiction
API gravity tells us how light or heavy the oil is.
• US WTI: ~40° API — light, golden, and easier to refine
• Iran Light: ~34° API
• Russia Urals: ~31° API
• Venezuela: ~8–12° API — extremely heavy, like tar
Oil quality plays a major role in global energy economics and politics — not just the amount of oil a country has.
The lighter the crude, the cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. Heavier crude requires more refining.
