English term or phrase: opportunity crudes
Tłumaczę tekst o wymiennikach ciepła do instalacji w przemyśle chemicznym. Pojawia się tam kilkakrotnie zwrot "opportunity crudes". Chodzi o ropę naftową. W internecie znalazłam taki opis:

"As refiners target improved operating margins, one of the more likely methods to accomplish this is through the processing of opportunity crudes, sometimes called challenging crudes. Opportunity crudes may command a discounted price due to known processing issues, or they may be new crudes with unknown or poorly understood properties and processing challenges."

Może ktoś będzie mieć jakąś koncepcję, jak nazwać taką ropę. Będę wdzięczna za każdą podpowiedź.

Oto zdanie pochodzące z tłumaczonego przeze mnie tekstu:

Aging plants require an increased focus on safety and environmental regulations. Opportunity crudes are more corrosive and require a more proactive corrosion management strategy.

Explanation:
The opportunity crude is difficult to process due to its low quality.

Opportunity crudes may command a discounted price due to known processing issues, or they may be new crudes with unknown or poorly understood properties and processing challenges. Without a strategy to asses and mitigate the processing issues, the profit potential may be eroded.

10th Topical Conference on Refinery Processing
(81) Upgrading and Processing of Opportunity Crudes
Chairs
Chen, J.; CanmetENERGY

Co-Chairs

Randolph, B.; ConocoPhillips Company

Description:
"Opportunity" crudes are generally characterized by a variety of properties undesirable to a refiner, such as high total acid number (TAN), high sulfur, nitrogen and aromatics content, high viscosity, etc. Although these crudes can cause corrosion and fouling problems in a downstream facility, they offer attractive discounts in crude prices. Effective methods and technologies to upgrade and process opportunity crudes can resolve these problems and provide attractive margins to the refiner. This session is geared towards exploring the current R&D and technology status on upgrading and processing of opportunity crudes. Papers are solicited on this topic in the areas of research studies to understand the fundamental science, current industrial strategies and technologies, and the development of new processes and technologies.

agree  magdadh: nie mam pojęcia czy się tak w polskich kręgach petrochemicznych mówi, ale kreatywnie mi się owszem bardzo okazyjna ropa (będąca zresztą dwa słowa dalej wyzwaniem) podoba.

  -> Nie myślę że w Polsce przerabia się "okazyjną ropę"...mamy raptem dwie rafinerie...stąd moje słowotwórstwo...

Reference: ciężka ropa

Reference information:
"Nowa instalacja CDU/VDU jest drugim ciągiem destylacji ropy naftowej w gdańskiej rafinerii. Wraz z jej uruchomieniem wzrasta również możliwość przerobu różnych gatunków ropy, zwłaszcza tych cięższych, bardziej zasiarczonych, o wyższej liczbie kwasowej (tzw. ang. opportunity crudes)."
