Wabasca Heavy recorded typical values for an October sample.

The September sample of Wabasca Heavy experienced a slightly increased density due to increases in the gas oil and residuum fractions. Decreases in the C4 x C6 and increases in the C7 x C10 volumes were also observed as well as increased BTEX concentrations. A decreased naphtha cut was observed from the simulated distillation.

The August sample of Wabasca Heavy was consistent with seasonally adjusted historical values.

Wabasca Heavy displayed values that are typical for this part of the season.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the overall characteristics of the June sample of Wabasca Heavy were relatively consistent with historical values.

Apart from a slightly higher than average butanes content,all other parameters of this WH sample are consistent with seasonally adjusted past results. A simulated distillation analysis is available for this sample.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the quality of the April sample of Wabasca Heavy was typical and consistent with historical trends.

Apart from some very slight compositional changes in the aromaticity of the diluent components, the quality of the March sample of Wabasca Heavy was typical and consitent with short and long term trends, A simulated distillation was run on this particular sample.

Seasonal shifts in the diluent quantity and quality increased the C7xC10 fraction of the February Wabasca Heavy sample. Seasonally adjusted density, TAN and MCR were all consistent with historical values.

Average density and sulphur and above average MCR and toluene were noted for this January sample of Wabasca Heavy.

Slight decrease in TAN was noted in this December sample of Wabasca Heavy. Slight changes, including a marginal increase in butanes, have been apparent and consistent with start up of an alternate delivery system.

Density (gravity) and sulphur in Wabasca Heavy are following the traditional cyclic pattern of WCSB dilbits that are blended to meet the mainline reference temperature profile. Conventional property analyses were consistent with historical values.

Decreased C5s x C6s and benzene and above average C8s x C10s, ethyl-benzene, xylenes, and nickel were noted for the October sample of Wabasca Heavy. Distillation results were received for this sample. No olefins were detected.

Decreases in C4s x C6s and benzene were noted for the September sample of Wabasca Heavy. In addition, increased C8s x C10s, toluene, ethyl-benzene, xylenes, TAN, and density were also observed.

Slight increases in density, sulphur, MCR, and vanadium were observed for the August sample of Wabasca Heavy.

Slight decreases in C4s and C9s x C10s and increases in density, sulphur, MCR, and metals were noted for the July sample of Wabasca Heavy. Simulated Distillation results were received for this sample.

Slight decreases in C8s x C9s and above average MCR, sulphur, and density were observed for the June sample of Wabasca Heavy.

The May sample of Wabasca Heavy had marginally above average sulphur, metals, benzene, and C5s x C6s along with slightly below average C9s x C10s.

Slight increases in TAN, along with a marginally lower than average density and metals, were observed for this month's sample of Wabasca Heavy.

Slight increases in C4s and C5s were observed for the March sample of WH.

A slight decrease in vanadium and marginal increases in C4s x C5s were observed for this month's sample of Wabasca Heavy.

The January sample of Wabasca Heavy had a lower than average density but slightly increased TAN. Simulated distillation results were received for this sample.

The December sample of Wabasca Heavy had increased TAN, metals and C5s. No olefins were detected.

Slight decreases in C7s, C8s, and C10s, along with an increase in TAN, were observed for this month's sample of Wabasca Heavy.

The October sample of WH had lower than average sediment but increased density, sulphur, MCR, and TAN. The sample's simulated distillation distribution reflected a decrease in the naphtha component and increase in the residuum.

The September sample had marginally decreased C4s x C7s, benzene, and toluene. As a result, the sample's density was slightly higher than average.

Decreases in C6s x C7s, benzene, toluene, and vanadium and slight increases in TAN and density were observed for this month's sample of Wabasca Heavy.

Slight decreases in C4s, C6s x C8s, benzene, and toluene were observed for the July sample of Wabasca Heavy. Both density and sulphur were elevated as a result.

Decreases in C7s x C10s were observed for the June sample of Wabasca Heavy.

Apart from a notable increase in salt, the May sample of Wabasca Heavy had typical light ends and bulk properties.

Apart from a slight increase in pentanes, the April sample of Wabasca Heavy had typical light ends and bulk properties. Simulated distillation results were received for this sample.

Elevated C5s x C7s, benzene, and toluene were present in the March sample of WH.

Increased C5s and C10s and decreased C8s and sediment were observed for the February sample of Wabasca Heavy. The sample's density was also slightly lower than average.

The January sample of Wabasca Heavy had slightly higher than average C5s and marginally lower than average C7s x C10s and xylenes. Sediment was also noted at a level lower than typical for this stream. Simulated distillation results were received for this sample.
