| 1. | These reserves require distillation and upgrading to produce synthetic crude and petroleum.
|
| 2. | The plant will be producing synthetic crude from natural gas.
|
| 3. | It specializes in production of synthetic crude from oil sands.
|
| 4. | Synthetic crude may also be mixed, as a diluent, with heavy oil to create synbit.
|
| 5. | One other proposed solution is to use a novel diesel, petrol, synthetic crude, and naphtha.
|
| 6. | This included light crude oil, heavy crude oil, crude bitumen, synthetic crude oil, and natural-gas condensate.
|
| 7. | The chemical process of pyrolysis can convert the kerogen in oil shale into synthetic crude oil.
|
| 8. | Synthetic crude is then shipped to oil refineries where it is further upgraded into finished products.
|
| 9. | Synthetic crude oil can be shipped and sold more profitably than natural gas if conversion costs are low.
|
| 10. | In the late 1970s the commercial production of synthetic crude oil from this bitumen began near Fort McMurray.
