Eastern Canada refineries process light sweet crude, which is largely imported. Some Alberta refineries can process heavy sour crude, which is the majority of what Alberta produces. That crude can’t be processed in Eastern Canada. So there is no point shipping that oil across the country. Heavy sour gets processed in Alberta (only making diesel and road asphalt bitumen) Texas and Oklahoma.

I see. So what's the use case for this pipeline other than political capital?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, nothing.

They can process their own stuff.

Just conservatives jerking each other off.
