Irving Oil studying expansion options post-Energy East

The primary idea floated previously by industry observers including Frank McKenna, the Toronto-Dominion Bank deputy chairman and former New Brunswick premier, is building an upgrader in Saint John near Irving Oil's existing refinery. The unit would process heavy oil-sands bitumen into light, synthetic crude, given the higher demand lighter grades from refinery customers across the Atlantic.
Irving Oil, controlled by Canadian billionaire Arthur Irving, would operate and own half of a marine export terminal already planned for the port city as part of the Energy East pipeline project. Energy East, estimated by TransCanada to cost C$15.7 billion ($12 billion), would transport as much as 1.1 million barrels a day. The pipeline's forecast cost has risen with changes to the design amid opposition and delays in the regulatory review.

So where is the ban on tanker traffic on the pristine east coast of Canada? Or does it only apply to outbound oil cause we all know inbound loaded tankers with non English speaking crews would never hit a rock.

Additions to Irving's refinery plant could handle the crude from Alberta's oil sands”

So it obviously can’t.

Who do you suppose should pay the billions required to upgrade the facility

I must say though, it’s interesting to see you put so much stock in what a politician says

“Edward Kallic, of Ziff Energy Group in Calgary, said the demand to refine the oil is there, but a pipeline out east would not be the first option.

"I wouldn't think that building a big line into the east coast is going to be economically viable," he said.”

Thanks again Boomer, for proving me right. I know I can always count on you.

Better than importing Saudi Oil..

Besides the alternative what, let the separatists get a foothold in Alberta spewing more hate.

At least Jason Kenney is a Federalist.

It is for people like you that don’t understand the economics of it or just want to throw taxpayers dollars at it
You are a Trumpite after all

You're an idiot after all.. ooops we already new that..

You're like a little kid, look at me.. I'm right, i'm right..

A little attention whore, guess you were neglected as a kid.. Low self-esteem..

I get it, you're ugly.. You're mother probably tied a porkchop around your next so the dog would play with you.

Who I vote for doesn't change the fact that you don't understand the economics of energy east. I understand that making it about me is easier than acknowledging that fact. Of course, you may actually understand the economics and just like the idea of throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at the problem.

Typical Trumpite
