cito da "L'era del petrolio" di Leonardo Maugeri

... i cosiddetti petroli sweet - letteralmente "dolci" - contengono meno dello 0,5 percento di zolfo, mentre quelli con un contenuto di zolfo compreso tra lo 0,5 e l'1,5 percento sono detti medium-sour e quelli con un contenuto superiore all'1,5 percento si definiscono sour - o acidi. Questa curiosa terminologia risale agli albori dell'industria petrolifera, quando i primi cercatori erano adusi ad assaggiare il petrolio per valutarne il contenuto di zolfo e si accorgevano che tanto più questo era elevato, tanto più il gusto risultava acre e sgradevole.

Quindi in italiano puoi anche usare petrolio ad alto/basso tenore di zolfo.
