OIL
US West Coast refiners are replacing Iraqi oil imports with Canadian crude as the newly expanded Trans Mountain pipeline reshuffled trades flows in the Pacific, Bloomberg said.
- California and Washington are set to import 150k b/d of Canadian crude by tanker in June, up seven-fold from average volumes, Vortexa data showed.
- Imports of Iraq’s Basrah heavy are set to drop to 3,587 b/d from 76k b/d in May.
- Brazilian Tupi crude imports on the USGC are also falling.
- The TMX pipeline can bring 590k b/d of crude from Canada’s oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, opening access for Californian refiners to cheaper heavy crude.
- The trade flows imply that the US will remain a dominant buyer for Canadian crude, despite more competition from Asian.
- Despite not hitting max capacity, around 22 tankers will ship crude from Vancouver this month, with 81k b/d to China and 50k b/d to India.
