Bonny Light crude oil is classified as a "sweet" crude due to its low sulfur content, around 0.14%, making it both environmentally friendly and easier to refine. With an API gravity between 32° and 38°, it falls under the category of light crude oil, which simplifies the refining process into high-value products such as gasoline and diesel. Its light and sweet properties make it highly sought after by refiners, especially in Europe and North America, who favor it for its cost-effective processing and higher yields of profitable refined products.
