Rebco Crude Oil Factory Price

Heavy crude oil (or extra heavy crude oil) is highly viscous oil that does not flow easily from producing wells under normal reservoir conditions. It is called "heavy" because it has a higher density, or specific gravity, than light crude. Heavy crude is defined as any liquid petroleum with an API gravity of less than 20°.

Physical properties differ between heavy and light crude oils, including higher viscosity and specific gravity, and higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components. In 2010, the World Energy Council defined extra-heavy oil as crude oil with a specific gravity less than 10° and a reservoir viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise. [3] When reservoir viscosity measurements are not available, the WEC considers the API lower limit of 4° for super heavy oils.

In other words, petroleum with a density greater than 1000 kg/m3 (or a specific gravity greater than 1) and a reservoir viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise. [3][5] Heavy oil and bitumen are dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL). They are less soluble, more viscous and denser than water. Large leaks of DNAPL will quickly penetrate the full depth of the aquifer and accumulate at the bottom.
