 | The company confirmed the pipeline activity in its 2014 quarter one earnings call.
Asked by Argus Media reporter Iris Kuo how much of the current 530,000 barrels per day of oil flowing from the Cushing, Oklahoma to Port Arthur, Texas pipeline is tar sands ("heavy crude," in industry lingo), TransCanada CEO Russ Girling confirmed what many had already suspected.
"I don't have that exact mix, but it does have the ability to take the domestic lights as well as any heavies that find a way down to the Cushing market, so it is a combination of the heavies and the lights," said Girling. "I just don't know what the percentage is." |
