Firebird say High Quality...7 Mar 2018 18:43
"Petroteq's oil from its oil sands is a high quality heavy crude oil with low sulphur content, low heavy metal content and no waxes or paraffins. With high concentrations of the very valuable diesel fraction hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, the quality of Petroteq's oil meets all refineries' specifications and quality requirements."
IF you are familiar with oil projects in the US (and I am in in the Rockies where the pipeline is) , then you will understand that a 10% discount is the norm. Standard practice. How else do the pipelines make money to maintain the pipeline. The rest is normal business as a back stop.
Do not see what the big deal is, seemingly a lack of understanding, nothing more.
