“We have purchased two parcels of Venn's Crude. Actually, Friday of last week, we purchased two cargoes. But those were the first two cargoes of many, many, many offers that we saw on the screen, Manav, that were in the money.”
Enbridge Mainline apportionment is tightening, backing up Canadian crude and widening differentials, which benefits MPC's MidCon refineries. — This highlights a supply chain bottleneck in Canadian crude takeaway capacity, directly improving feedstock costs for MPC's inland refineries.

“In January, even before the Venezuelan announcements and headlines, you started to see the heavy and the Canadian differential start to widen. And a couple of reasons they were widening. One, production's pretty darn strong in Canada. But”
