Significant volume of Canadian heavy goes to the US Gulf Coast, PADD 3, for refining.
"Roughly 90% of Canada’s total oil exports go to the U.S., with about 16% of that specifically destined for the Gulf Coast."
Nice try, but not even close.
"Oil pipelines and refined product systems from the U.S. Gulf Coast to the North/Midwest include the Magellan Pipeline System (reaching Minnesota), the Colonial Pipeline (major fuel carrier to the East Coast), and the Keystone Pipeline System (transporting Canadian/Midwest crude to the Gulf)."
Magellan is only option--all others either go EAST or SOUTH (not NORTH).
"Magellan boasts the longest refined products pipeline system in the country and accesses nearly 50% of U.S. refining capacity"
Magellan's own web site contradicts your claims. They move REFINED products, not crude. So they are unable to supply a refinery unless they REPLACE REFINED OIL PRODUCTS WITH CRUDE IN THEIR PIPELINE.
