• The higher the API gravity, the __________ the compound.

  the lighter the compound. Light crudes generally exceed 38 degrees API and heavy crudes are commonly labeled as all crudes with and API gravity of 22 degrees or below. Intermediate crudes fall in the range of 22 degrees to 38 degrees API gravity.

• Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation

  The refining process of separating crude oil components at atmospheric pressure by heating to temperatures of about 600 degrees Fahrenheit to 750 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on the nature of the crude oil and desired products) and subsequent condensing of the fractions by cooling.

• Barrels per Calendar Day

  The amount of input that a distillation facility can process under usual operating conditions. The amount is expressed in terms of capacity during a 24-hour period and reduces the maximum processing capability of all units at the facility under continuous operation (see Barrels per Stream Day) to account for the following limitations that might delay, interrupt, or slow down production.

• Bonded Petroleum Imports

  Petroleum imported and entered into Customs bonded storage. These imports are not included in the import statistics until they are: (1) withdrawn from storage free of duty for use as fuel for vessels and aircraft engaged in the international trade; or (2) withdrawn from storage with duty paid for domestic use.

• Refinery-Grade Butane (C4H10)

  A refinery-produced stream that is composed predominantly of normal ___ and/or iso___ and may also contain propane and/or natural gasoline. These streams may also contain significant levels of olefins and/or fluorides contamination.

• Captive Refinery Oxygenate Plants

  Oxygenate production facilities located within or adjacent to a refinery complex.

• High Pressure Catalytic Reforming

  A processing unit operating at either equal to or great than 225 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) measured at the outlet separator.

• Commercial Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel

  See Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel

• Domestic Crude Oil

  Crude oil produced in the United States or from its "outer continental shelf" as defined in 42 USC 1331.
