Galoc oil - arabian oil quality

Palawan oil or any oil that may be discovered in the Philippines would be of premium quality. The deposits have been classified as light, sweet crude. That means it has less dregs, after refining and relatively free of dissolved sulfur, which would corrode cracking facilities in a refinery. It was said that oil of this quality like Borneo oil during the war could be pumped directly to warships without passing refineries. It could be possible since most ship use bunker fuel.
