Alberta does not extract/export resources - companies do. Alberta has the power to regulate and create the rules surrounding development and extraction of the resources. The Federal government is in charge of all interprovincial trade and exporting goods to another country.

A new section of the Constitution Act, 1982 purports to clarify the extent to which provinces may manage their resources, giving them exclusive power to make laws dealing with the development, conservation and management of nonrenewable resources and forestry resources, and to regulate the rate of primary production from these resources. Parliament has paramount jurisdiction to regulate interprovincial and export trade in natural resources, and both levels of government are given full powers of taxation.

There is no "constitutional crisis" regarding exporting goods. It belongs to the Feds because at the point of export, it is no longer "Alberta" resources, those rights were sold to a company who now has to follow federal laws to export that product.
