Environment Canada Crude Oil and Petroleum Product Database

Environment Canada Crude Oil and Petroleum Product Database Evaluation and characterization of physical properties, chemical composition and behavior of petroleum products is crucial to predict environmental behaviour in the event of spills. This information can inform the prediction and modeling of fate and behavior of the oils in different environmental conditions. Good models of oil and petroleum products fate and behaviours are essential for spill preparedness planning, environmental effects and impact assessments, and choosing response and countermeasure strategies for the cleaning of spills. This database is a collection of physical properties, chemical compositions and simulated environmental behaviors of unrefined crude oils and refined petroleum products (including diesels, biodiesels, crude oils, intermediate and fuel oils, bitumen and diluted bitumen). The primary data source is measurement by the Emergencies Science and Technologies Section (ESTS) of Environment and Climate Change Canada, from oils gathered from diverse locations in North America and other parts of world. When applicable, the petroleum products were weathered by simulated evaporation weathering method in the ESTS lab to produce samples at different weathering states (light, moderately, heavily and very heavily weathered), followed by analyses based on American standard test methods (when available) or in-house methods.
