Actually, this is 40 deg API LLS crude, which is lighter than Saudi Light and lower in sulfur.

Oh, so the proverbial, " we can't use the tanker method because the crude is so much *heavier* than the Saudi crude" excuse is basically, - bogus...?

Well, well, well...

Is 40 deg API LLS crude the lighter crude known as “Louisiana sweet crude”?

If so, what’s coming out of this well is different stuff. It seems to be heavier “asphaltene crude”.
