Yeah, that is what I thought. The part I don't understand is why we'd get more than WTI/heavy oil prices just because it gets all the way to the gulf? The US will still be buying it will they not? I work in the upstream part of oilsands - admittedly I don't know the in's and out's of exports & marketing.
