Seal Heavy

Stream Description

Seal Heavy is produced by Canadian Natural Resources from the Peace River oilsands formation by conventional (cold flow, CHOPS) production methods. Seal Heavy is a heavy crude oil and bitumen blended with diluent to meet pipeline specifications for density and viscosity. Seal Heavy is delivered to Edmonton on the Rainbow Pipeline system.

Most Recent Sample Details

Batch: SH-6005 --- Date: September 08, 2023 --- Sample Location: Edmonton

Seal Heavy saw increased density, sulphur, and MCR for the September sample. Simulated distillation results showed a smaller naphtha cut and larger gas oil and residual fractions.
