Mixed Sweet Blend Analysis

Stream Description

Mixed Sweet Blend (MSW) is the benchmark conventionally produced light sweet crude for western Canada. It is often referenced on crude price reports as Edmonton Par Crude. It is a fully blended aggregate of many feeder streams and only begins its existence in blend tanks in Edmonton, Alberta.

Most Recent Sample Details

Batch: MSW-7369 --- Date: April 01, 2024 --- Sample Location: Edmonton

MCR, metals, and pentanes were slightly reduced while butanes were elevated for the April sample of Mixed Sweet Blend at Edmonton. Simulated distillation results showed a shift from the naphtha cut to the distillate cut.
