22. Keystone XL delay won’t stop Canada’s oil sands growth: RBC

...
Shipping crude by rail would pick up any slack from a failed Keystone, the analysts said in a report released late Tuesday. If Keystone is not approved, some 300,000 barrels of oil a day in oil sands growth could be deferred for later years, but not stopped.

Spending at the oil sands is likely to peak in 2016 at $29.7 billion if the pipeline, which is part of a system connecting the tar sands output to refineries in the Gulf of Mexico, is built; or $27.9 billion by the same year if Keystone is not approved.

Financing is the biggest challenge for the oil sands, which, by the way, the RBC analysts want you to stop thinking of as “marginal barrel.”

Canada produces 1.8 million barrels a day of oil from the tar sands — more than half the nation’s daily production.

People seem to be under the impression that if a pipeline isn't built this won't be economically feasible, yet it is already happening. (The train that burned up the people in the tavern in Canada was part of it).

To push the stuff, thick and gooey, through a pipeline requires a liquefying agent which costs $100 a barrel. They can just load it in a train car and it's ready to go. So while the profits may be decreased a little, there is still a lot of money to be made. And it is being made now.
