[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 297663, member: 2369"] The Midwest refineries are about tapped out on heavy crude. The goal now is to reach new untapped markets with Canadian heavy crude ( both coasts and the gulf). This will displace foreign crudes so I am ok with that. The reason they want more to the gulf is so they can increase their production as the operators up there have had to cut production because there is limited pipeline space. This is part of why this crude is discounted just like Bakken is. Keystone XL fixes this issue.
