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.
