“Brent crude” is one of the main benchmark classifications used to price oil worldwide and is sourced from a group of North Sea fields (statements 1 and 2 true). It is a light, sweet crude but still contains about 0.37 % sulphur, so it is not sulphur-free (statement 3 false). Therefore only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
