The Sahara Blend is the reference name of the Algerian crude oil, which is produced on several Algerian oil fields.[ citation needed]
Sahara Blend is a light crude, its extreme lightness and very low sulfur content makes it among the most popular with refineries for light derivatives such as gasoline and kerosene compared to Brent [1] and West Texas Intermediate (WTI). [2] [3]
The API gravity of the Sahara Blend is around 45° and a sulfur content of 0.05%. [4]
The Sahara Blend is listed on the London market, which is the benchmark for the Algerian barrel price.
