I don't know about supplying Nova Scotia, but there is a major
pipeline going all the way north from Texas that was damaged with
Harvey. This pipeline is a biggy and they are not back on line yet.
Is you Venezuelan oil off loaded from a tanker directly to you folks
or is it delivered some other way? Don't know, just wondering.
Apparently Florida off loads from a tanker to trucks. I just assumed
that all oil delivered to N. America was delivered through pipes and
then trucked to depots.
