The SPEE (Soc. of Petro. Eval. Engineers) discusses the merits of the differing reserve descriptions.

Well that puts a new spin on 'heavy' oil.
Wayback Machine
The Wayback Machine is a digital archive of the World Wide Web and other information on the Internet created by the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization, based in San Francisco, California, United States.....
History
The Internet Archive launched the Wayback Machine in October 2001.[4][5] It was set up by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, and is maintained with content from Alexa Internet.[citation needed] The service enables users to see archived versions of web pages across time, which the archive calls a "three dimensional index".[citation needed]
Since 1996, the Wayback Machine has been archiving cached pages of websites onto its large cluster of Linux nodes.[citation needed] It revisits sites on occasion (see technical details below) and archives a new version.[6] Sites can also be captured on the fly by visitors who enter the site's URL into a search box.[citation needed] The intent is to capture and archive content that otherwise would be lost whenever a site is changed or closed down.[citation needed] The overall vision of the machine's creators is to archive the entire Internet.[citation needed]
Information had been kept on digital tape for five years, with Kahle occasionally allowing researchers and scientists to tap into the clunky database.[7] When the archive reached its fifth anniversary, in 2001, it was unveiled and opened to the public in a ceremony at the University of California, Berkeley.[8] ......
..............As of July 2016, the Wayback Machine reportedly contained around 15 petabytes of data.

The really specialist refiner prefer sour because they separate out all that sulfur and sell it as a nice sideline to refined products.

Yes. Very lucrative. There's a huge shortage of sulfur.
