Trans Mountain narrows Canadian crude discount
Canadian heavy crude has historically traded at an excessive WCS-WTI discount because of insufficient tidewater export infrastructure. The Trans Mountain expansion entered service in May 2024, adding roughly 590,000 barrels per day and bringing total capacity to about 890,000 barrels per day; the WCS-WTI discount has narrowed from about $19.82 to about $12.52. Improved market access supports Canadian crude realizations, though some quality differential remains.

Venezuela pressure weighs on WCS
Heavy crude benchmarks are already feeling pressure from Venezuela developments. The WCS differential at Houston widened from about $4 per barrel under WTI in November to roughly $7.50-$8 under WTI, which Rory cites as evidence that Venezuelan heavy crude and the unblocking of trapped barrels are weighing on heavy crude values.
