   What is synthetic crude?

   • There’s nothing "synthetic" about synthetic crude. It just means the oil wasn't pumped out of the ground that way, distinguishing it from conventional oil. Synthetic crude is virtually free of impurities, contains very little sulphur (even less than conventional light oil) and no residue.

   Can you buy synthetic crude from a refinery?

These refineries essentially have built-in upgraders, and therefore would never buy synthetic crude.
