Q: Interested in your thoughts on the potential US Tariff impact on SOBO and other pipelines.
Given the lack of access to alternative markets for WCSB crude/liquids ,the fact that volumes are contracted for the long term and the demand from US refiners for what is already discounted feedstock - I would think that the impact would be small in the short term. Realized price for product may be further discounted leading to a drilling/supply response and ultimately lower volumes but with a 10% tariff this is probably not a significant factor in the short/medium term. Your thoughts??
Thanks

We would fully agree here. There may be little impact, and even if not, any impact is likely...
