Crude Oil
From the most remote corners of the Earth comes the fuel that makes modern life possible.
Overview
Mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons that is refined into diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and literally thousands of other products called petrochemicals. Crude oils are named according to their contents and origins, and classified according to their per unit weight (specific gravity). Heavier crudes yield more heat upon burning, but have lower API gravity and market price in comparison to light crudes.

Common Questions
Crude oil is a mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons that undergo refining processes to produce various products, including diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and numerous petrochemicals.
Crude oils are classified based on their contents and origins, and further categorized by their per unit weight, known as specific gravity. This classification is crucial in determining the oil's characteristics and potential applications.
API gravity is a measure used in classifying crude oils based on their density. Heavier crudes have lower API gravity, yielding more heat upon burning. This density classification also influences market prices, with lighter crudes generally commanding higher prices.
Crude oils vary in composition and origin, leading to the existence of different types. Each type has distinct characteristics, making them suitable for specific end-products and applications.
Macrosium sources crude oil from diverse refineries and suppliers, leveraging a robust network to ensure a consistent and reliable supply. Our focus is on providing superior quality at competitive prices.
The refining process of crude oil yields a range of products, including but not limited to diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and a myriad of petrochemicals that serve various industrial applications.
Macrosium values transparency as a fundamental principle. We uphold financial and behavioral transparency to build trust and reliability with our business partners and clients. Our commitment to openness is reflected in all aspects of our operations.
The market price of crude oil is influenced by factors such as its API gravity, global supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and economic conditions. Heavier crudes, while yielding more heat, may have a lower market price compared to lighter crudes.
