All of this is reason to end the #oil #addiction
API gravity tells us how light or heavy the oil is.

• US WTI: ~40° API — light, golden, and easier to refine

• Iran Light: ~34° API

• Russia Urals: ~31° API

• Venezuela: ~8–12° API — extremely heavy, like tar

Oil quality plays a major role in global energy economics and politics — not just the amount of oil a country has.

The lighter the crude, the cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. Heavier crude requires more refining.

Crude Mission

I just heard that the first crude mission to the Moon since the seventies will happen shortly. I just wonder what the crude part of it meant.

Maybe they’ll be using crude oil. Now that Iran is blocking a lot of crude oil in the Strait of Hormuz, of course the US would use up a lot more in a space mission.

Maybe they’ll be using even cruder methods. Perhaps they’ll pull back a giant elastic with a giant Chevy truck and let go when the ship is aligned inside just right.

Maybe it’ll be even cruder. They might build a giant cannon (just like they did in one of Jules Verne’s books), with the cannonball being the ship.

Maybe it’ll be cruder. Perhaps some cavemen will throw a bone in the air and miraculously it’ll turn into a spaceship.

Maybe it will be crude because they won’t send anything special for when they meet up with moon people. No language programs, no interpreters, no gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.

Maybe it’ll be crude because it will be done by the USA and they have no regal royalty. Shut up Donald Rump, you have to be born into it for it to count.

Maybe it’ll be crude in that they will be using foul language. “F’n Ground Control this is F’n Major Tom. What $#!+ are you talking about today?”

Maybe it’ll be crude in that they aren’t sending up much water. In other words, the ship will have to recycle the astronauts urine.

Maybe it’ll be crude because the astronauts won’t be decent unless they do a space walk.

And what was crude about the seventies missions​?

Then again I herd this. So perhaps it is a crewed mission that hasn’t been to the moon since the seventies. That might be slightly more likely.

The IEA’s latest Oil Market Report opens with a stark warning that the war in the Middle East has caused the biggest supply disruption in global oil market history. With Trump downplaying oil price risks and Iran warning crude could hit $200, this shock could become especially painful. Today’s HT Number Theory explains why.
