Blended crude oil prepared for export from several fields and delivered through a common pipeline and terminal system. Supplied in tanker cargoes to refineries worldwide.
Request a Quotation View AssayProduct Overview
An export blend combines crude streams from different fields into one consistent grade. Blending gives refiners a stable quality, larger cargo volumes and regular loading schedules.
Consistent Quality
Streams are blended to a defined quality so each cargo matches the agreed assay.
Large Volumes
Pipeline and terminal supply allows regular, full-size tanker cargoes.
Refinery Ready
Suited to refineries that run medium gravity crude and need predictable yields.
Inspected Cargo
Quality and quantity verified by an independent inspector at loading and discharge.
Assay
Each cargo is supplied against an assay agreed in the contract and confirmed by the independent inspector's report.
| Parameter | Value | Test method |
|---|---|---|

| Density @ 15°C (kg/m³) | per blend assay | ASTM D4052 |
| Sulphur (% m/m) | per blend assay | ASTM D4294 |
| Water and sediment (% v/v) | max 0.5 | ASTM D4007 |
| Salt content (mg/L) | per contract | ASTM D3230 |
| Pour point (°C) | per blend assay | ASTM D97 |
| Viscosity | per blend assay | ASTM D445 |
The full assay is available on request. Cargo quality is established by independent inspection at the load port.
