Sub-Product

Bonny Light Crude characterized based on its true boiling points produces 0.039, 0.05, 0.21, 0.13, 0.126 0.125, 0.065, and 0.27 Liquid Volume Fraction of Off Gas, Light Naphtha, Heavy Naphtha, Kerosene, Light Diesel, Heavy Diesel, AGO and Residue respectively.^[1]

Expressed in percentage form reveals 4% Off Gas, 26% Naphtha, 13% Kerosene, 31% Diesel and 26% Atmospheric Residue of the total Liquid Volume Fraction.^[1]

These values represent the maximum Liquid Volume Fraction of the different Distillate that can be gotten from the Crude at an ideal condition.^[1]

One of the major types of Crude Oil Nigeria produces is the Bonny Light. It is actually a high grade of Nigerian crude oil and is produced in the Niger Delta basin. One of its prominent features is that it has low Sulfur content, and so, is highly prioritized by Refiners. – API Gravity: 35 degrees – Sulfur Content: 0.2%bbl/mt – Conversion Factor: 7.526 – Specifications: {{API 35.4°, S.G. 0.85, Sulphur 0.14, Pour point -18°C, TAN 0.27 mg KOH/g}}, Nickel 3.6 wppm, Vanadium 0.4 wppm, Visc. (50°C) 2.9 cSt.^[2]
