I’m sure you’re aware that light condensate has only 60% of the BTUs of proper crude.
And doesn't require as much energy to process into fuel. Heavy hydrocarbons have to be cracked prior to being used for most fuels.
The north slope is looking at producing more and more heavy crude. To blend it with some lights will make it easier to keep the pipeline flowing without adding heaters along the way.
of proper crude
Proper crude? Using this analogy the heavy, thick bitumen produced from Venezulea's poorest fields most be most proper, as they have the most BTU's per barrel.
I was on the preliminary engineering team for the ConocoPhillips fields back in 2005~2006. I know the value of the fields and why ConocoPhillips has fought for years to get approval to produce them. Don't try to make the NPRA as not worth going after.
