That's something, thanks for the info. I wonder if that will make exports from Burrard Inlet competitive with world oil? I don't know the dollar figures between crude coming from different production basins around the world, but I've read that the oil sands and the fracked oil from the Dakotas have pretty high extraction costs compared to simple drilled well product from the middle east. You have higher extraction costs, less efficient shipping logistics, and a raw product that is more expensive to refine (dilbit). There's been lots of speculation that the main reason for OPEC's prolonged resistance to production limits has been to put the hurt on the high-cost producers in north america by keeping global prices low. And in another 15-20 years - well inside the life span of Kinder Morgan expansion - the price of electric cars will dip below that of their gas equivalents, which will cause a steady and permanent reduction in oil prices. Will these mega projects be financially viable? Construction costs will barely have been recovered at that point.
