Light crude oil is a low-density petroleum that flows easily, has high API gravity, and is prized because it yields more gasoline and diesel during refining compared to heavy crude
Advantages
High Yield of Fuels: Produces a larger proportion of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel compared to heavy crude
Lower Refining Costs: Requires less complex refining processes, saving time and money
Cleaner Burning: Lower sulfur content (especially in “sweet” crude) results in reduced emissions
Market Value: Commands a higher price on global markets due to efficiency and demand
Ease of Transport: Low viscosity and density make it easier to handle and pipeline compared to heavier grades
