The Keystone XL project would bring oil from Alberta across the U.S. border for eventual delivery to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast . Opponents including the Natural Resources Defense Council have called it an “ export pipeline ” that would primarily send Canadian oil to overseas markets without benefiting U.S. consumers.
Neither the State Department report nor IHS showed how they had calculated their respective figures. Based only on EIA statistics, we can say that no more than 50.4 percent of the oil would be destined for export as refined product under today’s conditions, though the figure would likely grow over time assuming that the current boom in fuel exports continues.
The EIA reports that the U.S. is currently exporting more crude oil than it has in 57 years, including small test shipments of re-exported Canadian oil to refineries in Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Singapore. But it remains to be seen how large that volume might be in the future.

The Keystone (primary) pipeline carries tar sands oil (bitumen) from Alberta, Canada to a terminus in Nebraska and has been pumping between 500,000 and 600,000 barrels of oil a day since it’s completion in January 2014. Only the XL extension was not completed which would take that pipe and extend it to the Gulf of Mexico. ( Many confuse the Keystone (primary) pipeline with the Keystone XL (extension).) Now--->Not all oil is created equal: here we are with sub-grade Canadian tar sand oil (not domestic oil) that not all refineries can work with. One of the refineries in the Gulf that can handle the tar sand oil is over loaded with this product and has no where to put it. The acid content of the tar sand oil is extra damaging to the steel piping used to transport it making any piping system handling this oil dangerously close to having breaches. Instead of running up the XL pipeline extension the idea of building a refinery at the Nebraska terminus of the Keystone (primary) would be a good place to park a new refinery that can actually handle the tar sand oil. Great suggestion !!! Nebraska though not Montana.
