Buying Canadian Crude Oil: WCS, Synbit, and Heavy Sour Grades
PetroIntermediation TeamCanada-Specific
Canadian crude grades:
- WCS (Western Canadian Select) — heavy sour blend, ~21° API.
- Synbit — synthetic + bitumen blend.
- Dilbit — bitumen diluted with condensate.
- Edmonton Par / MSW — light sweet sync.
WCS trades at a $10–$25 discount to WTI depending on takeaway capacity. Buyers source through CAPP-listed producers — not through "mandate" channels. Sign up at petrointermediation.com to access verified Canadian suppliers.
