Petroleum Source
In its unrefined state petroleum is referred to as Crude
Oil
Crude is a complex mixture of light and heavy
hydrocarbons and other compounds
Undesirable impurities include Sulfur, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and
Metals
Base oils are obtained from refined crude oil

Average N. American production from a barrel of crude oil.
Gasoline 44%
Distillate (home heat, diesel) 21%
Kerosene-type jet fuel 9%
Other (e.g., residual fuel oil, coke, asphalt) 25%
Lubricant feedstock 1%
So-called Lube Crudes will yield higher amounts of the
vacuum disti llates that go to make up lubricant Feedstocks, or
Feeds

ParaffinicAppreciable wax content. Minimal asphalt.
Favored for Paraffinic Base Oil production
Naphthenic
Minimal wax; minimal asphalt
Largely used as feedstock for refrigeration, transformer or niche
process oils
Mixed
Contains wax and asphalt
Can be used to produce base oils, but in low yields
Asphaltic
Primarily asphaltic residue; high S and N content
Suitable for high-viscosity base oil manufacture ie cylinder stock.

Refining Basics
A refinery process known asAtmospheric
Distillation boils off all the low-boiling materials which
are then condensed and used as fuels.
A second distillation process, Vacuum Distillation,
under reduced pressure produces high boilingfractions -vacuum gas oils - known as Feeds.
Vacuum gas oils are one of the main feeds in a
lubricants refinery

Distillation of Crude
The value of crude oil can only be realized once it has been cleaned up (de-
watered and de-salted) and separated into various fractions of similar
hydrocarbons.

2 Basics Refining Goals
Upgrade Composition
Regardless of refiningtechnology used, the intent is
to get rid of undesirable
molecules/character, such as
Unsaturates, Sulfur, Nitrogen,
& Aromatics
Enhance Physical Properties
Viscosity, Volatility & FlashPoint controlled through one
or more distillations.
Low-temperature properties
controlled through wax

Base Stocks are the individual cuts of product from refinery distillation towers.
Base Stocks of different viscosities are the fundamental building blocks of
finished lubricants.
When used internally to formulate finished lubricant products

When used alone or blended together into a saleable product

API Groups Defined
API Base-Stock Groups. The American Petroleum Institute (API) hasdeveloped numerical classifications for lubricant basestocks, based onsulfur content, composition, and VI.
Group I: Is the lowest quality level with VIs in the range 80-100+, butusually below 100. Solvent refined stocks fall into this category. Petro-Canada does not manufacture these.
Group II:Applies to stocks with low impurity levels, and VIs from 100 to119.
Our HT base-stocks are Group II.
Group III:Applies to basestocks of saturated hydrocarbon composition,very low impurity levels, and very high VI (VHVI), above 120. Our HC/IDWstocks fall into this category.
Group IV: Refers to fully synthetic base-stocks, (e.g. PAOs).
Group V:All base stocks not included in Group I-IV (Naphthenic pale oils,ester, poly-alkylene glycol and other non-PAO synthetics)

History
Lubricants Refinery History
The original refinery on this site was built by British
American Oil to produce fuels and lubricants for theAllied Forces in World War II.
The original plant was built in 1943 and contained 2
small crude refining units, a thermal cracker to make
aviation gasoline, a small lubricants unit to producelubricating oils for automobiles, and an asphalt plant.
The business was purchased by Gulf Canada in 1968
and finally by Petro-Canada in 1985.
In 1993, Petro-Canada converted this plant from a full
petroleum refinery into a lubricants facility and was
awarded the first ISO9001 certification in the industry.

The processes we use ensure:
Low Toxicity: Virtually no aromatics, sulphur-, oxygen-or nitrogen-containing compounds and therefore the
base stocks are relatively benign
Dermatological Safety: Many of our base stocks are
made to meet medicinal credentials
Environmental soundness: Our base stocks have
inherent to readily biodegradability in standard tests

Benefits of HT vs CDW Base Stocks
Hydro-Treated Base Stocks (HT)
Excellent oxidative stability
Improved additive solubility Pharmaceutical grade white
oils
Hydro-Isomerization (CDW)
Lower volatility
Higher VI Improved shear stability
Better low temperature
properties (pour point, cold
crank, etc)
Disadvantages of Petro-Canada Group II+/III Base Stocks
Lower solubility due to lower aromatic content
Less seal swell
Upper viscosity limit
HT maximum viscosity: ~100 cSt @ 40C
CDW maximum viscosity: ~8 cSt @ 100C
