API gravity
Okay kiddo, let me explain what is API gravity. Imagine you have two cups of juice, one with orange juice and the other with apple juice. If you try to pour them both in a glass, you would notice that the orange juice flows faster than the apple juice.
Now, let's apply this to crude oil. Crude oil comes in different types and each has different densities. If you try to pour heavy crude oil and light crude oil, the lighter one will flow faster than the heavier one.
API gravity is a way to measure the density of crude oil. It tells you how heavy or light the oil is compared to water. If the oil is lighter than water, it has a higher API gravity. And if it's heavier than water, then it has a lower API gravity.
API gravity is important because it helps us to know how much oil we can get from a barrel. Usually, the higher the API gravity, the more oil we can get from it.
So, that's it kiddo. API gravity is just like measuring how fast different juices flow, but we use it to measure how heavy or light crude oils are compared to water.
