    Good day gents,

     

    I noticed there is a change in the API degree for the crude oil, it was expected to be in the range of (28-28.5), currently it is 27.5

     

    I want to know the factors that could cause this drop, how to mitigate the problem, the sequences and how to solve it.

     

    Also, if there is any resources that could help in this regard to be provided,

     

    I would appreciate if anybody faced(or have any clue about it) the same problem before to share with me his experience,

     

    Thanks and best regards,
