Advantages, Disadvantages and Economic Benefits Associated with Crude Oil Transportation
Issue Brief 2 02/20/2015 Advantages, Disadvantages and Economic Benefits Associated with Crude Oil Transportation Overview Oil production is an important source of energy, employment, and government revenue in the United States and Canada. Production of crude oil is undergoing a boom in North America due to development of unconventional1 crude sources, including the Alberta oil sands and several geologic shale plays, primarily the Bakken fields in North Dakota and Montana, in addition to the Permian and Eagle Ford fields in Texas. In recent years, domestic production of crude oil in the United States has increased at tremendous rates and is predicted to continue this trend, with total production reaching an estimated 7.4 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2013, up from 5.35 million bbl/d five years prior in 2009.2 The forecasted output for 2015 (9.3 million bbl/d) represents what will be the highest levels of domestic production in the United States since 1972.3 This production is coupled with a decline of crude oil imports, with the share of total U.S. liquid fuels consumption met by net imports hitting a low of 33 percent in 2013, down from 60 percent in 2005.4 Canadian crude oil production has also increased dramatically with 3.3 million bb/d produced in 2013, up from 2.57 million bbl/d in 2009.5 As the primary source of imported crude oil to the United States, the Canadian and U.S. oil economies are tightly linked despite declining U.S. imports.6 The rise in crude oil production has accelerated industry demand for transportation to move crude oil from extraction locations to refineries in both nations.

Green Introduction Recent events have elevated the importance of how we transport energy—spe- cifically oil—to high profile status. The long-stalled approval of the Keystone XL pipeline is probably the highest profile political event that has caused oil trans- port to surge to the fore in energy policy discussions today, but more prosaic economic issues also have played a role. Most importantly, because of limita- tions in the ability to ship oil to coastal refiners and overseas markets, Canada is forced to sell crude oil into the US market at a considerable discount relative to world oil price markers such as Brent.1 This is costing Canadians at least $15 billion each year (Beltrame, 2003, Apr. 13). Among other things, this shortfall has been blamed (wrongly, we believe) for problems with the balance sheet of Alberta’s government, bringing the issue to still greater prominence (Milke, 2013). Economic research has shown that eliminating bottlenecks (whether physical or political) can reduce oil price discounting similar to that which Canada currently endures (Bausell Jr.

Shell’s portfolio of energy products comprises liquid fuels (including GTL and biofuels) for transport, pipeline gas and LNG for power and transport, and electricity from conventional and renewable sources (i.e. solar and wind). As a result, it has become necessary to develop a methodology for the quantification and tracking of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the entire life cycle of these products taking into account not only products produced by Shell, but also all products ultimately sold by Shell, including those sourced from 3rd parties.
