I have never seen an oil assessment for any location that meets the 0.0015% sulfur requirement of the EPA.

While much or most of the Bakken is classified as sweet, I don’t think anything is that sweet without sulfur removal processes.

Have you seen anything meeting that criteria?

I suspect the sweetest crudes are going to be nearly 100 time too much sulfur.

I bow to your superior knowledge of refining.

I had no idea that the standard was that (insanely?) low. How much of that sulfur would come out in the distillate versus remain in the other fractions?
