Three New Permits; WTI Settles Back At $83 -- April 19, 2024

Locator: 47045B.

Heavy oil to California: this is quite a story if one thinks about it for thirty seconds. LOL. 

  • bringing coals to Newcastle. If regulators won't allow fracking in California, then bring in heavy oil from Alberta. Link here
    • and put it on tankers with a risk of an oil spill off the west coast
  • refiners Valero, Chevron in California have contracted Aframax tankers;
  • pipeline: Trans Mountain Pipeline
  • terminal: Westridge Terminal, near Vancouver
  • carrying nearly one million bopd this would have been the oil moved down the Keystone XL had it been completed
  • many ironies in this story
  • Trudeau and Canada got a lot of bad press over this pipeline -- but at the end of the day, Trudeau and Canada got 'er done. More than we can say for California and the never-ending Bullet Train story;
  • I assume if California finds a way to stop this -- which is not beyond the pale -- China will gladly take this oil off Canada's hands.
