What (who) is synthetic crude - definition
Synthetic crude
PARTIALLY REFINED CRUDE OIL
Synthetic petroleum; Synthetic crude oil; Oil-sand crude
Synthetic crude is the output from a bitumen/extra heavy oil upgrader facility used in connection with oil sand production. It may also refer to shale oil, an output from an oil shale pyrolysis.
Manure-derived synthetic crude oil
SYNTHETIC BIO-OIL CONVERTED FROM MANURE
Porcine petroleum; Pig manure derived synthetic crude oil; Manure derived synthetic crude oil; Pig manure derived oil
Manure-derived synthetic crude oil is a synthetic bio-oil chemically engineered (converted) from animal or human manure. Research into the production of manure-derived synthetic fuel began with pig manure in 1996 at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by the research team led by professors Yuanhui Zhang and Lance Schideman.
Light crude oil
LIQUID PETROLEUM THAT HAS A LOW DENSITY AND FLOWS FREELY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
Light Crude; Light crude; Light Crude Oil; New York light
Light crude oil is liquid petroleum that has a low density and flows freely at room temperature. It has a low viscosity, low specific gravity and high API gravity due to the presence of a high proportion of light hydrocarbon fractions.
Examples of use of synthetic crude
1. But now the region produces one million barrels of synthetic crude every day.
2. First phase of the project on completion was to process 77,500 bpd of bitumen into synthetic crude.
3. Mr van der Veer said, for instance, that the number of barrels produced from oil sands – a process whereby bitumen–coated sand is processed and turned into light synthetic crude – would increase from 155,000 barrels at present to 500,000.
4. Nexen Inc has also delayed the second phase of Long Lake oil sands project to 200'. Expansion would double production of synthetic crude to 120,000 bpd, while the Value Creation Group’s C$4 billion Heartland project near Edmonton, Alberta has reportedly been halted.
