Canada U S Gap Grows In Oil Exports To U S
The Independent Petroleum Association of America cites a 136 percent rise in Canadian oil imports over six years and warns that planned refinery capacity growth in Quebec and Atlantic Canada could worsen supply balance. They urge a 1967 agreement cap on refinery feedstocks to 306000 barrels daily for 1969 to 1971, while actual imports average higher. Both sides seek clarity on where the excess products will be sold and impact on crude output in Canada and the United States.
