Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) is the common term used in many countries, especially in Africa, for diesel fuel used in diesel-powered vehicles and machinery. Also, called Diesel, Diesel Oil, or Gasoil. It is what powers compression ignition engines.

Key Facts About AGO
Fuel Type: Diesel
Used In:
Trucks and trailers
Buses
Diesel cars and SUVs
Generators
Construction equipment
Agricultural machinery

AGO Specifications.
Typical AGO characteristics include:
Type: Distillate fuel for diesel engines Same family as D2, EN590.
Density: @15C** 820 - 870 kg/m³ Heavier than gasoline, lighter than BLCO.
Color: Clear & bright, straw/golden.
Viscosity: @40C** 1.6 - 5.5 cSt Thicker than Jet A-1, thinner than D6.
Flash Point: 55C min, usually 66C+ Safer than gasoline.
Sulfur: Varies by region: 500ppm 500ppm diesel 50ppm AGO 50ppm10ppm.
Cetane Index/Number: 47-51 min Ignition quality for Cloud Point: 4C to 38F max Gels in cold weather.
Usage: Trucks, cars, generators, construction, marine Compression ignition engines only.

AGO in Oil Trading
In international petroleum trading, AGO is commonly sold in:
Bulk cargo shipments
Tank farms
Retail filling stations

AGO is one of the most traded refined petroleum products in countries such as Nigeria due to heavy reliance on diesel-powered transportation and generators.
For trading purposes, AGO is usually quoted in metric tons (MT) or liters, with quality specifications provided by an independent inspection company such as SGS or Bureau Veritas.

In West Africa, AGO = diesel at filling stations. Dangote Refinery now produces AGO 50ppm which meets Euro IV standards. 500ppm AGO was the old standard.

LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas.

It is natural gas (mainly methane) that has been cooled to about 162C (-260F), turning it into a liquid. This reduces its volume by approximately 600 times, making it much easier and more economical to transport by ship over long distances. It's just natural gas that got shrunk so we can ship it across oceans.

Natural gas pipelines don0t reach everywhere, LNG solves that. Gas is cooled to -162C, shrinks 600x, then shipped it in special tankers. At destination, LNG is regasify back to gas for pipelines/power plants.

How LNG is Produced
1. Natural gas is extracted from gas fields.
2. Impurities such as water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur are removed.
3. The gas is cooled to 162C. At that temperature, methane turns liquid.
4. It becomes a clear, odorless liquid called LNG.
5. Load or pump into those huge white spheres as seen in the pictures I attached.

Common Uses of LNG
Power generation
Industrial fuel
Residential heating and cooking
Marine fuel for ships
Feedstock for petrochemical industries

Property Details.
Natural gas = 90-95% methane CH4, cooled to liquid.
Temp -162C at 1 atm pressure. That's colder than Antarctica.
Volume** Gas liquid shrinks 600x. 600m³ gas becomes 1m³ liquid.
Look: Clear, colorless liquid. Like water but super cold.
Smell: Odorless, colorless Odorless, but mercaptan added for leaks.
Use: Power plants, factories, cooking gas after regasification.
Safety: LNG liquid causes severe cold burns. It's not flammable as liquid - only the gas vapor burns.

Canot put LNG in a glass jar for a photo - it had boil instantly at 25C. It needs cryogenic dewar flasks.

LNG vs LPG
Feature LNG LPG
Full Name Liquefied Natural Gas Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Main Component Methane Propane & Butane
Storage Temperature About -162C Ambient temperature under pressure
Source Natural gas fields Crude oil refining & natural gas processing
Transportation Cryogenic tanks and LNG carriers Pressurized cylinders and LPG tankers
Typical Use Power plants, industries, export Cooking gas, heating, autogas

Big difference from LPG is: LNG is mostly methane CH4 85-95%. LPG is propane/butane.

LNG in International Trade.
Major LNG exporters include countries such as Qatar, United States, and Australia. LNG is transported globally by specialized LNG carriers to importing countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
For oil and gas trading, LNG is a major commodity traded under long-term contracts as well as spot cargo agreements, similar to crude oil and LPG.

Bonny Light Crude Oil (BLCO) is a high-quality, low-sulfur ("sweet") crude oil produced in Nigeria. It is one of the country's most important export grades and is highly valued by refineries because it yields a large proportion of gasoline, diesel, and other light petroleum products. BLCO is Nigeria's flagship crude oil grade. It's named after Bonny Island/Bonny Terminal in Rivers State where it's loaded.

Overview

Origin: Nigeria
Production Area: Niger Delta region
Export Terminal: Bonny Oil Terminal
Crude Type: Light, Sweet Crude Oil (NNPC Export grade benchmark)
API Gravity: Typically around 35-37
Sulfur Content: Approximately 0.14-0.20% (low sulfur)

What makes BLCO special and Valuable:

BLCO is a sweet, light crude- that's gold for refineries.
API Gravity 35- 37 API Light crude. Low density, flows easily. High yield of gasoline/jet fuel.
Sulfur Content 0.14% - 0.16% wt Sweet crude. Very low sulfur = less refining cost + less SO2 emissions.
Density @15C 849-850 kg/m³ Thin compared to heavy crudes.
Pour Point: -5C to -36C Stays liquid in cold, good flow.
Color: Dark brown, but much thinner than D6 fuel oil.

High yield of valuable products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel.
Strong international demand from refineries in Europe, Asia, and other regions.
Good refining characteristics compared with heavier crude grades.

Products Refined from BLCO:

Refineries can produce:
LPG (Cooking Gas)
Gasoline (PMS)
Diesel (AGO / EN590-type diesel after refining)
Kerosene
Jet Fuel (Jet A-1)
Fuel Oil

Example
If a refinery purchases 1 million barrels of Bonny Light Crude Oil, it can process the crude into a range of petroleum products including diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, and other refined products, depending on the refinery configuration.

Trading Terms:
BLCO is commonly traded under:

FOB (Free on Board)
CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)
Spot cargo contracts
Long-term supply agreements

Typical Cargo Sizes:
950,000 barrels
1,000,000 barrels
2,000,000 barrels and above

Nigeria's crude oil sector is overseen by entities such as Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and international oil companies operating in the Niger Delta.
For oil trading purposes, BLCO is considered one of the most recognized African crude oil grades alongside Brent Crude and other major export crudes.

So BLCO is the premium ingredient. Refineries buy BLCO, then make EN590 diesel, jet fuel, petrol, etc. from it. D6 is what's left over after refining the light stuff out.
