Description:
According to one U.S. company that operates both oil sands production and refining assets, upgrading oil sands derived bitumen at a Midwest refinery is preferable to doing so in Alberta by approximately $3.50 per barrell. With this type of cost advantage, there is little doubt that many U.S. refiners will look to increase their diet of Canadian bitumen in the near future. This paper discusses the impact of bitumen processing on the FCC operations and product yields, and the typical capital investments that are generally required to process significant quantities of bitumen feeds.
