Dear all;
does any one know crude oil sales specifications that should be achieved?
I am talking only about maximum BS&W% and salt content in sales crude oil.

RE: Dear all; does any one know crud
Basic Sediment and Water is a ballast for crude oil - it adds no value (i.e. by purchasing crude with 1% BS&W the purchaser loses ability to turn 1/100 of crude volume into products he can sell), and it also incurs processing costs (settling on storage, dewatering/desalting, wastewater management, corrosion in crude distillation units etc.).
See example specification for various crude oils: https://tinglebr.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/crude... and http://www.exxonmobilpipeline.com/Files/EMPCo/EL73...
