This report documents the detailed sampling and testing program recently conducted on Bakken crude oil. This program is the most thorough and comprehensive study of crude quality from a tight oil production basin to date. In the past year, considerable attention has been focused on transportation and quality issues related to Bakken crude oil.
1 lis 2017 · The Bakken crude consists of high concentrations of monoaromatic hydrocarbons and alkylated PAHs with a clear dominance of the alkylated naphthalene homologues followed by the phenanthrene series. Its pyrogenic index (PI) values are considerably lower than typical conventional crude oils.

2.2 Bakken Crude Characteristics Crude oil from the Bakken is primarily light sweet crude, as compared to heavier crudes produced from conventional domestic reservoirs, Canadian syncrudes, and crude oil imported from other countries.
Bakken crude oil is derived primarily from northwestern North Dakota and to a lesser extent northeastern Montana, and the bordering Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure, Bakken crude oil is transported extensively by rail.
