Bonny Light (Crude)

Bonny Light 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.

Other grades of Nigerian crude oil are;

• Qua Iboe crude oil,

• Brass River crude oil
• Forcados crude oil.

The Bonny Light is in high demand specifically by American and European refineries. It is therefore a
major source of income for the oil-rich nation.
