Another thing I'd like to point out is how people confuse flavors of crude oil and crude oil itself. Tar sands/bitumen/whatever you want to call it is crude oil

Another thing I'd like to point out is how people confuse flavors of crude oil and crude oil itself. Tar sands/bitumen/whatever you want to call it is crude oil, it's just really viscous, really dirty crude oil. Condensate generally means crude oil in this situation as well (that is, if it's coming straight out of the ground and being sent to a refinery).
