Bakken Crude Oil Properties Sulfur content generally ranges from 0.17- 0.20% • Bakken is a “Sweet” crude, very low sulfur • Recent sample very low = 0.142% • Reports of some sour recent shipments due to crude blending at source oilfield Hydrogen Sulfide (H 2 S) content < 1.0 ppm • Recent sample < 1.0 ppm Pour Point The field produces almost 1.5 million b/d of Bakken, a light sweet crude that typically has a gravity of between 41-43.7 API and a sulfur content of 0.12%. For example, the graphs in Figure 2-2 show results of parallel analyses of samples of Cold Lake Blend diluted bitumen and Bakken crude oil. 23 The latter is dominated by a strong series of peaks representing its abundant, straight-chain, saturated hydrocarbons. The diluted bitumen, in contrast, is dominated by a hump representing the profusion U.S. shale oil output is surging, but American refineries can't process much more of the light crude, according to Morgan Stanley. There are also limited export opportunities for U.S. shale, which means light oil may soon have to trade at a discount to compete overseas. Sour crude: sulfur content higher than 1 % *Different sources state a different maximum percentage of sulfur content for sweet crudes (between 0.42 % up to 1 %). The tables below show examples for different crude oils and their typical values for kinematic viscosity and °API.

A crude oil assay is essentially the chemical evaluation of crude oil feedstocks by petroleum testing laboratories. Each crude oil type has unique molecular, chemical characteristics. No crude oil type is identical and there are crucial differences in crude oil quality.

The field produces almost 1.5 million b/d of Bakken, a light sweet crude that typically has a gravity of between 41-43.7 API and a sulfur content of 0.12%.
oil with high sulfur content is referred to as “sour”, while oil with low sulfur content is referred to as “sweet”.
