I don't know how much volume is lost in waste but I don't think it is much. The issue of refining it here is that we now need to ship the same volume of product out to the Eastern markets but pipelines are no longer an option so that million barrel a day pipeline needs to be turned into a million barrel a day convoy of trucks and trains heading east full and coming back empty.
A mono-directional pipeline makes so much more sense.

So where exactly are we trying to get it once it is refined? Because that $20 billion dollar refinery project in Kitimat seems to have some legs. And it would require the Northern Gateway Pipeline to be built.
Say we ship our oil to Kitimat, refine it, load it onto ships and get it out of country. Or wherever it needs to go. Would that even be practical. Because David Black is claiming he has the money to get it done.
