You are years behind the times. Canada has a pipeline to the Pacific Ocean.

With the recently completed expansion project, that pipeline has a capacity of some 890,000bpd. It is running at about 84% of capacity. Current Canadian exports to the US are running 4Mbpd.

Trans Mountain pipeline

The expansion, which runs roughly parallel to the existing pipeline, increased capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day (48,000–141,000 m3/d), at a cost of C$53 billion.[7]

US imports from Canada of crude oil.

I stand by what I said. Most of Canada's oil is landlocked.

Chevron is optimistic about the feasibility of increasing production.

Chevron (CVX) is currently producing about 140,000 barrels of oil daily. Vice Chairman Mark Nelson told the White House in early January that it could boost production at its joint ventures with Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA, 50% over the next 18 months to two years. Before U.S. sanctions were expanded in 2025, Chevron’s production exceeded 200,000 bpd.

And this hit the wire, shortly after the Davos conference.

US Pushes for Quickest Fixes to Boost Venezuela Oil Output

(Bloomberg) -- The US is in talks with Chevron Corp., other crude producers and the world’s biggest oilfield service providers about a plan to quickly revive output in Venezuela at a fraction of the estimated $100 billion cost for a complete rebuilding.

The idea is that with limited investment, Venezuela could boost production by several hundred thousand barrels over the short term, the people said.
