Strathcona seeks 250k bpd BC crude export route to Asia via rail, new terminal

Strathcona Resources proposes exporting up to 250,000 bpd of crude from British Columbia's northern coast via rail to a new marine terminal in Prince Rupert, targeting Asian markets. The plan requires Ottawa to exempt the project from its oil tanker ban, a policy reversal that would mark a significant shift in Canadian energy export strategy. The proposal is at an early stage, with the company set to approach the Carney government next week; feasibility and political approval remain uncertain.
