Canada's cheaper, cleaner and lower-risk oil can rival a resurgent Venezuela, Carney says
Mark Carney emphasized Canadian oil's competitive edge due to lower costs and carbon capture, supported by a new west-coast pipeline agreement to diversify export markets.
- On Tuesday in Paris, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was not worried increased Venezuelan output would challenge Canada's exports and welcomed the removal of Nicolás Maduro as creating democratic transition possibilities.
- Following the U.S. action in Venezuela, Poilievre wrote, '...every barrel the United States sources from Venezuela could mean one less barrel these refineries would buy from Canada. We therefore need new markets to sell to, and we need them quickly.'
- Canada's oilsands produce nearly five million barrels per day, mostly exported to the United States, while Venezuela produced about 900,000 barrels per day last year, raising concerns of displacement at U.S. refineries that specialize in heavy crude.
- Ottawa and Alberta signed a comprehensive MOU to boost shipments to Asia, and Carney cited falling costs and the Pathways project carbon capture to lower carbon intensity.
- Carney was at a Paris summit to finalize security guarantees for Ukraine when he said this before joining Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron and leaders from more than 30 countries at the Élysée Palace.
