Crude Oil
Friend’s Oil Company facilitates physical crude oil brokerage discussions for refinery and trading requirements. Share your preferred crude grade, required volume, destination, and delivery window. Quality evaluation is based on the nominated crude stream and the relevant assay and shipment documentation.
- Grade-specific quality.
- API gravity and sulfur profile.
- Assay and commercial terms confirmed per opportunity.
Information required for a crude oil enquiry
Crude oil does not have one universal product specification. Quality is defined by the nominated grade and its assay, so an enquiry is built around the information below.
| Parameter | Information required |
|---|---|
| Crude grade or stream | Nominated grade |
| Country of origin | Origin documented for the proposed offer |
| API gravity | Grade-specific value in °API |
| Density at 15 °C | Grade-specific value in kg/m³ |
| Total sulfur | Grade-specific value in % by mass |
| Water and sediment | Contractual limit, with units and test basis stated |
| Total acid number (TAN) | Grade-specific value in mg KOH/g |
| Kinematic viscosity | Value in mm²/s at a stated temperature |
| Salt content | Contractual limit, with units stated |
| Pour point | Grade-specific value in °C, where relevant |
| Distillation and yield profile | Relevant crude assay |
Crude oil quality varies by grade and cargo. A representative assay supports evaluation; contractual quality requirements and shipment documentation are confirmed for the transaction.
