The anticipated early 2024 startup of Canada's 590,000-barrel-per-day Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion is poised to increase competition for Canadian crude oil barrels, possibly diverting around 470,000 bpd of heavy Canadian sour from existing pipelines such as Enbridge's Mainline and Express pipelines and TC Energy's Keystone pipeline. Consequently, US refiners dependent on Western Canadian Select will be forced to pay a premium for continued access to Canadian crude.
