Premium Conventional Heavy

Stream Description

Premium Conventional Heavy is a mixture of Bow River, Western Canadian Blend, and Fosterton. Crude streams were selected for this pool based on their smaller resid fraction compared to other conventionally produced heavy crudes.

Most Recent Sample Details

Batch: PCH-6032 --- Date: August 14, 2023 --- Sample Location: Superior

Notably increased density, sulphur, and vanadium along with reduced pentanes and hexanes were observed for the August sample of Premium Conventional Heavy. Simulated distillation results showed a smaller naphtha and larger residual.
