Amazing luck today. Just got these photos on the way home. My wife and I were both so thrilled and excited to see this majestic owl. Our 2nd time lucky enough to see. Just stayed and enjoyed.

A note for Canadians: export of Venezuelan heavy crude (similar to WCS from Cnd oilsands) was down to 100-200kbpd to Gulf Coast refineries.
In absence of pipeline constraints, today will have little effect on differential between WCS and WTI.
Longer-term, it may depress price of WCS.

Oil, conflict, and climate change – there is a direct connection.
The real kicker here is that if US companies do succeed in ramping up Venezuela’s oil, it’s some of the dirtiest and most carbon intensive in the world. And it’s cheap to produce (PdVSA says $5/barrel, probably closer to $25).
