(n). Heavy Oil, Enhanced Oil Recovery. Crude oil with high viscosity (typically above 10 cp), and high specific gravity. The API classifies heavy oil as crudes with a gravity below 22. 3 API. In addition to high viscosity and high specific gravity, heavy oils typically have low hydrogen-to-carbon ratios, high asphaltene, sulfur, nitrogen, and heavy-metal content, as well as higher acid numbers. Syn: Viscous Oil. See: crude oil. More Details: Heavy-Oil Reservoirs.
