AI insight

The revival of Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines increases capacity to move Canadian heavy crude to US refiners, reducing reliance on offshore imports. This lowers transportation costs for Canadian producers and improves margins for US inland refineries that process heavy oil. The channel is supply_shortage relief and logistics efficiency, but regulatory hurdles and project timelines remain uncertain.
