Product Overview
Basra Light Crude Oil is one of Iraq's premium crude oil grades, known for its moderate API gravity and relatively high sulfur content. It is a sought-after crude oil for refineries that specialize in processing heavier grades into diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, and petrochemical feedstocks.
Key Characteristics:
Moderate API gravity (~30-31), making it a balanced crude for refining operations
Higher sulfur content (~2.87%), typically requiring desulfurization but yielding valuable middle distillates
Ideal for refining into diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel
Stable and consistent supply via Iraq's major oil terminals
Important Note: Iraq's Crude Oil Sales Process
Unlike many global markets, Iraq operates differently in crude oil sales, particularly through SOMO (State Organization for Marketing of Oil). This means:
* Only qualified buyers and refineries can engage in direct purchases.
* Strict registration, compliance, and financial verification processes are required.
* Transactions involve long-term contracts or structured agreements with SOMO.
If you are interested in securing Basra Light Crude Oil, please contact us for more. Our team will guide you through the proper procedures to ensure compliance with Iraq's regulatory framework for crude oil sales.
we are in a position to secure contracts to procure Iraqi Basra Light Crude Oil and Basra Heavy Crude Oil directly from SOMO (The State Oil Marketing Organization).
Please note that:
SOMO sells oil to refineries only on FOB basis, in accordance with OPEC regulations.
Iraq offers attractive Distance Discounts depending on location of the refinery.
Our role is limited to securing a contract with SOMO, we have nothing to do with prices and discounts.
No upfront payment. SOMO collects payment from the Revolving Documentary Letter Of Credit (RDLC) which would be established by the buyer after signing the contract within 30 days from date of departure of the buyer�¢??s ship after loading of oil and handover of Certificate of Transfer of Oil Ownership from SOMO to the buyer.

Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a diesel boiling range product from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs). FCCU is responsible for the production of petrol, LPG and Light Cycle Oil (LCO). There are various ways of economically upgrading LCO, which include hydrotreating, high pressure hydrocracking for full conversion of LCO into Naphtha and a more optimized partial conversion hydrocracking process. It can be used in susch industries as Agrochemical, Crude Oil, Petrochemicals, Petroleum Products.

WHAT IS BONNY LIGHT CRUDE OIL OR BLCO
Bonny Light Crude Oil is a high grade of Nigerian crude oil with high API gravity (low specific gravity), produced in the Niger Delta basin and named after the prolific region around the city of Bonny.
The very low sulfur content of Bonny Light crude makes it a highly desired grade for its low corrosiveness to refinery infrastructure and the lower environmental impact of its byproducts in refinery
effluent.
