Then it was a poor choice for you to use that tag to "Lock them up" like you posted if you are mainstream.
Agreed there is way too much anti-science that does not reflect the reality of what is going on. What type of engineer are you?
Really.... Really ..... Just what fake data did I post? Perhaps it was that ~400,000 bl/d condensate that Alberta imports into Canada? Was it the claim that the KM pipeline was for dilbit and not crude oil (WCS)? Was it the value of that dibit that you claim that is the same as Brent?
I am a Petroleum Engineer. I work mainly with Conventional oil, how ever do some work in Heavy oil (WCS). I work on everything from drilling, completions, Fracing, Enhanced oil recovery, Facility's & pipelines & some processing. I have worked Western Canada, along with some Texas & Oklahoma fields from Canada. I am part of a small Canadian owned company that was started up ~7 yrs ago. I am one of many who are proud of what they do & know that we do it safer, & cleaner than anywhere else on the planet. All of the people who started the company are either Ranchers, Farmers & avid outdoorsmen who all want to leave the world a better place then how it was handed to us. As an Engineer my job is not to say "We Cant" its to find how we can. & that means environmentally. I know that seems like an oxymoron to most, but I just wish folks could see how far things have come & are going. The oil sands have given this province a black eye. I will be the first to admit that big mistakes were made in the early days & we are still living for those sins.
Alberta produces ~1.5MM BOPD that is conventional production (that last time I looked).
I do admit GLG that you haven't given any false data & for that reason I should have not claimed you have. In fact you are one of the few who has back up from reputable sources. The only exception would be claims that the oil industry is a dying industry with less demand. If that claim was not form you then I apologize, as I think it was?.. Oil demand is in fact increasing at huge rates that we can hardly keep up with. The surplus of oil in the market has caused prices to drop. This in return has greatly increased demand. Truth is as soon as oil becomes cheaper the more the world consumes it. The reason that oil prices are rebounding is because the worlds increased demand for oil is chewing through the surplus are a rapid rate.
Lastly, being compared to a "Trumph" supporter is a terrible insult to me. I would rather be called many things & don't like it when my fellow Canadians who live in this province are labelled. I think labelling anyone is wrong. I do believe that law breakers should be looked up & have respect for the rule of law.
I am terrified at the thought of that oil continuing to move on rail cars. That is one of the most unsecure methods of transportation that is a ticking time bomb. Those trains travel the most remote parts of the province & would make a response to clean up very delayed & not efficient. You can not have a ERP for every km of track. As much as folks hate the fact they need to understand that oil will keep moving. In pipelines or Trains & we need to insure it is done in the safest method possible.
As Canadians we need to be able to have these conversations. As Canadians we also need to value the importance of our Confederacy. This is hard as we are such a divided country at times on many issues.
I will be the first to admit to throwing stones in a glass house. This is a passionate debate that both sides feel very strongly about. In the end one side will not be happy & the results will shape the way of the future. However regardless of the outcome one thing will not change, & that's the oil making it to port. The terminal will be expanded & the real debate here is how will the oil arrive there. I can only hope that it is not via Rail.
