What bothers me is that when a spread develops that’s sufficient size enough to be exploited for profit, it will be. Problem here is the side to be resolved is the downside, and once it is we can expect gasoline from WTI refineries to move up to get in line with the coasts, meaning higher prices for us all.
That is why pipeline gets built, ports get expanded, tankers get built.
Do you really expect oil companies to keep drilling in an area where the prices are depressed from their other choices for drilling?
