Dennis, With the availability of plentiful natural gas in Canada it would seem to me that local upgrading to syn crude is the way to go. Once upgraded the opposition to the transport of the oil via pipeline should be hugely mitigated. Besides that - it create a whole lot of jobs in Canada.

Does anyone know what the economics of upgrading the to a better refinery feed stock are? Also, to what extent does Alberta export products?

Thanks,

Bob
