Application Submitted to the NEB Line 3 Replacement Program Appendix 10-1 Economics of Crude by Rail the rail tank car and therefore limits the amount of the commodity that can be transported before meeting the tank In general, the opportunity to ship by rail is greatest when car’s weight limitation. In addition, more time is required for the price differential between the market at a point of loading and unloading heavy crude which thereby adds to origin and the market price at the destination exceeds the cycle times and, in turn increases cost. transportation cost by rail. Recently, this has meant that the economic driver for crude by rail has been between land A number of uncontrollable factors such as weather or locked production and coastal markets where higher world mechanical issues, may also impact cycle times and affect oil prices can be accessed. producers’ netbacks. The opportunity for diluent back haul can also be considered when evaluating the costs. The There are a number of factors which could impact the range is based on the movement of varying densities of the economics of shipping crude oil to market via rail. These crude oil and the distance from markets. The actual costs include prices available in various markets that can all be for each component can fluctuate beyond the ranges shown accessed by rail and cost. The type of crude being moved due to changes to cycle times. Rail tank car leasing costs is a key determinant of cost as the heavier the crude oil are negotiated and are subject to change depending on a slate, the more rail tank cars are required to transport a number of factors, including the length of the lease. given volume of crude. Heavy crude is typically transported in steam coiled and insulated cars in order to reduce the Figure 4.6 shows the approximate cycle times and viscosity of the crude oil to facilitate the unloading process. estimated cost to various key markets in Canada and the The steam line and insulation also adds to the weight of United States.

Pipelines constraints in available pipeline capacity. The role of rail will are the preferred mode of transportation to move crude oil but continue to evolve over the longer term providing producers the protracted regulatory processes has been a challenge. with access to new markets and offering new transportation The Keystone XL Pipeline, which is intended to connect to options (e.g. RailBit). The full extent of the development of rail the heavy crude oil processing refineries in the Gulf Coast, transportation will hinge on the timing and size of additions to has seen significant delays. If approval can be obtained by the pipeline infrastructure. the end of this year, however, then the pipeline could start operating in 2017. The Northern Gateway project, which connects to the West Coast market, has also been delayed slightly to Q3 2018. Figure 4.7 shows the existing and proposed takeaway capacity exiting the WCSB versus forecasted supply movements. The forecasted supply movements were developed by coupling CAPP’s latest supply forecast of western Canadian production with U.S. Bakken volumes that would utilize a portion of the pipeline capacity that exits Western Canada.
