FAQ
Bonny Light frequently asked questions
Quality, pricing and refining questions about Bonny Light.
Bonny Light's exceptional quality combines 35.7° API gravity with ultra-low 0.14% sulfur content, enabling refineries to achieve gasoline yields of 50-55% with minimal processing. Its light, sweet characteristics require less complex refining equipment and produce higher-value products with lower environmental compliance costs. The crude's consistent quality and established trading relationships make it particularly valuable for refineries seeking premium feedstock for gasoline-focused operations.
Nigeria's Niger Delta region faces ongoing security challenges including pipeline vandalism, kidnapping, and militant activities that can disrupt production and exports. These risks create supply uncertainty that supports price premiums, as buyers pay extra for supply security. Infrastructure investments in recent years have improved reliability, but periodic force majeure declarations still affect cargo availability and create price volatility.
