With Keystone, the...BC residents do have to worry.<br /><br />With Keystone, there is zero economic argument to upgrade oil in Alberta, since refineries already exist in the US that will handle it (why duplicate infrastructure and labour costs?). So Keystone insures bitumen will be in the pipelines. It ensures an expansion of oil-sands investment. It will make the business case for a unrefined bitumen pipeline to the coast more sound, even if the margins on selling bitumen are much lower than with higher grades of petroleum. No economic pressure could be brought to bear on the oil companies by BC citizens to put cleaner oil in the pipeline: the oil companies already have the US customer for dilbit. If BCers wanted in on the action, they'd have to accept dilbit.<br /><br />Without Keystone, there would be a much stronger economic argument to refine the bitumen in Alberta before shipping it. The only new customers for oil sands expansion will be offshore and a pipeline to a coast will be needed. The Bitumen refined would sell for more and attract more customers. BC demands for pipelining refined oil rather than dilbit would have to be considered.crfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726414637021391906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-19172033173963159172013-02-14T17:04:01.955-08:002013-02-14T17:04:01.955-08:00Wonderful news for BC.
