-===== API density classifications =====
-^ Crude oil density classification ^ API gravity ^
-| Condensate/Extra-light           | >50°        |
-| Light                            | 40-50°      |
-| Intermediate/Medium              | 30-39°      |
-| Medium-heavy                     | 25-29°      |
-| Heavy                            | < 25°       |
-| Extra-heavy                      | < 10°       |
-Intermediate density crudes are most commonly produced
