2013 Crude Characteristics
No. 44
2013 CRUDE CHARACTERISTICS
The 2013 Crude Characteristics Booklet is a summary of selected chemical and physical properties of crude oils and condensates
moved in the Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (Enbridge)/Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. system. Samples were collected over a limited period
of time and may or may not be representative of shipments over the entire year.
Density at 15C, Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP) at 37.8C, Sulphur by Weight, Pour Point and Viscosity results at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 45C
were tabulated.

The pieces of data were accumulated as follows:

1- Incoming streams were sampled upon first point of receipt into Enbridge custody or injection onto Enbridge
Mainline.
2- Samples are tested at Edmonton and Superior Enbridge labs, as well as external laboratories.
3- All available test results for Density, RVP, Sulphur, Pour Point and Viscosity are compiled, analyzed,
and averaged to obtain Crude Characteristics results.
- Heavy Viscosity data is compiled from samples tested during the lowest reference temperature time period.
4- Spot commodities are excluded from crude characteristics testing.
