Make that NONE, not much. It is far cheaper to send to the closer West Coast refineries.

You mean the ones to be built in Baja Mexico? The tree-huggers on the west coast aren’t keen to increase refinery capacity to handle all that crude.

I stand corrected. I believe that the larger point remains valid: that the Asian/Pacific crude oil market, of which Alaskan crude oil production is a part, has upward pressures for the reasons stated.
