Density and sulphur have increased slightly from last month, as would be anticipated as the mainline reference temperature increases and the concentration of diluent decreases. Apart from this predictable change, the properties of SCB remain consistent with historical averages.
Predictable seasonal adjustments in diluent content is the driver behind the higher than recent density value. All other parameters of this SCB sample are consistent with past results. This sample was tested for olefins and was found to contain none.
On a seasonally adjusted density basis the April sample of Statoil Cheecham Blend was typical in all aspects. The simulated distillation results support the average composition of the April sample.
Consistent with its nature as a dilbit blend, the March sample of SCB had lower than average density, sulphur and metals. It can be anticipated that the density of SCB will rise between March and September. A simulated distillation analysis was run on this sample.
The February sample of Statoil Cheecham Blend displayed very typical shifts in density, sulphur, MCR, and light ends content consistent with mainline reference temperature adjustments for diluent content.
Density and MCR were lower in the January sample than the average. This is consistent with higher diluent concentrations required in the winter shipping season. The balance of the characteristics of the January sample were consistent with historical averages.
Density (gravity) and sulphur in SCB are following the traditional cyclic pattern of WCSB dilbits that are blended to meet the mainline reference temperature profile. Simulated distillation and conventional property analysis were consistent with historical values.
Statoil Cheecham Blend (SCB) is a new addition to the crudemonitor.ca program. The September 25 sample, though, had slightly lower C7s x C10s and vanadium that has been noted in the samples analyzed to date.
Statoil Cheecham Blend (SCB) is a new addition to the crudemonitor.ca program, and will tested throughout the balance of 2011. Simulated distillation results were received for this sample.
