To control more of the LNG value chain and become more familiar with the inner workings of the U.S. natural gas market, a small, but growing number of LNG buyers and suppliers have been acquiring gas production assets close to LNG export terminals along the U.S. Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;<strong><em>We are watching Canadian Crude by Rail<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Canadian Energy regulator reported on December 23, 2024, that 85,279 barrels were exported per day during the month of October 2024, down from 85,867 barrels in September of 2024, a decrease of 588 barrels per day month over month.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXevc5uJ7dTIbKmY2K5Gw4fKPiUzvbcnM5sHPoB9qIXL-4qZ4Q29E6jTQu80WcRZfq2Z_yj1xARAUGLf26skZY0D2m89JucQlFSuA7uizdxRiOTy8078fY7WSuKdVtrKpBxjKvgWrA?key=uue5ak4QmTblqcBu1UxhgQ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Crude by rail numbers in Canada did not change meaningfully month over month.&nbsp; Despite record-high crude oil production in western Canada, crude oil volumes exported by rail declined by 31% in 2023<\/span>,<\/strong> averaging 98,300 barrels per day compared to 143,300 barrels per day in 2022. So far in 2024, rail exports have averaged just over 90,000 barrels per day. This decline is primarily attributed to increased pipeline capacity for oil exports in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">In 2019, crude exports by rail peaked at an all-time annual high, due to pipeline infrastructure operating near or at full capacity<\/span> <\/strong>in western Canada. This trend persisted into early 2020, with February setting a monthly record of 412,000 barrels per day. However, rail exports began to decline following reduced oil demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The downturn continued with the addition of pipeline capacity, such as the Enbridge Mainline Line 3 replacement in October 2021, which added 370,000 barrels per day, and the Trans Mountain Expansion, which recently added 590,000 barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Now, President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering reviving the Keystone XL pipeline,<\/span><\/strong> a 1-million-barrel-per-day project canceled by President Joe Biden on his first day in office, despite being near completion after $15 billion in investments by TransCanada. Sources familiar with the transition team\u2019s discussions indicate that reinstating Keystone XL is part of Trump\u2019s energy independence agenda, reversing Biden\u2019s decision and the environmental opposition that initially halted the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Even with the expansion of pipeline infrastructure and Keystone XL potentially back on the table, crude by rail is expected to increase from current levels<\/span>.<\/strong> Rail remains a viable option for transporting stranded oil without pipeline connectivity and raw bitumen without diluent, which cannot flow through pipelines, but can be shipped as a non-hazardous product. Companies like Cenovus, Strathcona, and Gibson are expanding capacity for raw bitumen shipments, with Strathcona aiming to triple production by the end of 2026.
