"Second, the fuel must have the right boiling point distribution, and then it has to have properties called lubricity, which means it does not cause excessive wear of the turbine components. "It also has to have a very low pour point, which means the temperature at which the fuel becomes gelatinous and therefore no longer flows.

The American Petroleum Institute classifies base oils into 5 groups according to characteristics such as sulfur content, saturated paraffin content, viscosity and pour point.

One shipping source familiar with the matter said it would take about 10 days to get ready as one of the crude grades, Bu Attifel, needs to be heated to reach the required pour point.
