Condensate Prices Continue to Risehttps://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/ca/Documents/REA/ca-en-rea-price-forecast-12-31-2017_AODA.pdf
Trends to watch in 2018
Producers will continue to target liquid-rich gas plays in the Deep Basin. Condensate prices are increasing as the domestic condensate supply does not meet increased demand for expanding bitumen production. It is expected the demand for condensate will rise due to increased bitumen capacity from oil sands expansion projects. In addition, if proposed crude oil pipeline projects move forward, increased diluent will be required to transport heavy oil. Partial upgrading potential and increased transport capacity by train would slow the demand for diluent; however, rail transport is more costly than pipelines and partial upgrading is relatively new to the industry.
