There are more than 30 grades of oil sold World Wide. The Brent and WTI are reference benchmarks to the quality of oil, which can be above or below these benchmarked oils which are both light oils, low in sulphur and cheaper to refine. Here the names of some other grades of oil: Saharan Blend (Algeria), Minas (Indonesia), Bonny Light (Nigeria), Arab Light (Saudi Arabia), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Tia Juana Light (Venezuela), and Isthmus (Mexico). This part may be surprising. Most people assume that most of our imported crude comes from Saudia Arabia or if you listen to the liberals, which you do, lol, Iraq because after all the War in Iraq was for Oil, right-o! But here is the reality: WE GET 3 TIMES MORE CRUDE OIL FROM MEXICO AND CANADA THAN WE DO SAUDI ARABIA! Not only that most of our crude comes from Western Hemisphere sources. Iraq doesn't provide that much. So much for the liberals stupid theory.
