The congressman nodded: "It is true. Oil sands rich in resources have been discovered in Alberta, with proven oil reserves of at least 170 billion barrels." Oil sands are sandy mineral deposits containing crude oil. The crude oil contained in them has a high viscosity.
It is heavy oil.
"As we all know, almost all of the oil produced in Canada is supplied to the United States. A few months ago, the Canadian Prime Minister actively promoted the construction of a "keystone" XL oil pipeline to the interior of the United States, and submitted to us proposals for the construction of a "keystone"
Project application for the "Heartstone" XL oil pipeline. According to the revised plan, this pipeline runs from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada in the north to Steele City, Nebraska, the United States, with a total length of approximately 1,900 kilometers.
"
"However, our government's announcement in April this year to extend the project review time may delay the final decision to approve the project until after the November congressional midterm elections to avoid affecting the Democratic Party's election."
"The Canadian government is very dissatisfied with this. Now it wants to open up a new oil export market and build a new North Gate oil pipeline from the northwest oil fields to the Pacific coast to facilitate the export of oil to Asia-Pacific countries, mainly targeting the Chinese market.
"
"Experts have estimated through assessment that after the pipeline is completed, Canada will be able to transport 525,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta to the Port of Kitimat, where it will then be loaded onto ships and shipped to Asia-Pacific countries."
"The Associated Press predicts that approximately 220 large tankers will arrive at the Port of Kitimat each year to transport Canadian crude oil to the Asia-Pacific market."
"The North Gate Oil Pipeline project still needs the support of local governments, and the British Columbia government has not yet expressed support for this project. Many environmental organizations and indigenous groups have clearly expressed their opposition on the grounds that they are worried about what will happen to the U.S. Exxon Company's Val
The oil tanker USS Des ran aground near Alaska, leaking 50,000 tons of crude oil."
"The Canadian federal government appointed an independent expert group to evaluate the North Gate Oil Pipeline Project. The expert group assessed that although a large crude oil spill would have a catastrophic impact on the local environment, the safety precautions submitted by Enbridge would
It can effectively reduce the chance of similar accidents, and this project is about to be approved."
The other party said a lot, but Gu Shaocheng just listened attentively and smiled at the end: "What does this have to do with me?"
"We don't want this project to be passed."
Gu Shaocheng hummed and raised his eyebrows: "So?"
"If you have a way to prevent this project from passing, we can let the young master stay with you for five more years, and finally secretly help you seize the construction rights from Enbridge Company, but the premise is that you
Construction must be delayed until after December."
Gu Shaocheng finally heard the truth: "It turns out that I still want to build a Keystone XL oil pipeline to the interior of the United States."
"I very much agree with this project, but it's a pity that a few old men in the parliament have taken the initiative, preventing this project from being passed. If you have a way to prevent the project proposed by Enbridge Company from being passed, wait until then.
After the keystone XL oil pipeline proposal in the United States is passed, the North Gate oil pipeline project will also be opened. When there is business, everyone will make money together, and you will definitely not lose!" The financial boss said that he actually wanted XL very much.
The U.S. Congress does not have the power to build oil pipeline projects.
