Why can’t they build a refinery in North Dakota? Ship the oil right across the border from Canada rather then piping it all the way across the country.

Isn't it more dangerous to ship refined product across the country than crude?

Why can’t they build a refinery in North Dakota?

There is not demand for an additional 830,000 barrels per day in North Dakota.

Ship the oil right across the border from Canada rather then piping it all the way across the country.

So after you build than a large new refinery, you are going to build thousands of miles of pipeline to ship the products? Plus now you have “waste” products like Petroleum Coke and Sulfur thousands of miles from their delivery point as well.

A Refinery in North Dakota sized for this flow rate doesn't solve the problem, it just creates more problems.

You need a port to ship your refined products out of. Houston is more centrally located for crude import and refined export.
