Moghissi: Internal corrosion is one of many possible threats to a crude oil transmission pipeline that must be managed. It should be noted that crude oil by itself is not corrosive at pipeline conditions, but water can drop out of the crude oil and allow corrosion to occur where it accumulates. Water carried by heavy crude oils, including dilbit, does not significantly differ in corrosivity from water carried by other crudes.

The petroleum industry generally classifies crude oil by the geographic location it is produced in (e.g.West Texas Intermediate, Brent, or Oman), its API gravity (an oil industry measure of density), and its sulfur content.ach crude oil has unique molecular characteristics which are understood by the use of crude oil assay analysis in petroleum laboratories. Barrels from an area in which the crude oil's molecular characteristics have been determined and the oil has been classified are used as pricing references throughout the world.
