Price assessment details
How will these prices be used?
The Argus fob Vancouver assessments for Cold Lake and High TAN provide transparency into an emerging market that aims to supply Pacific buyers of those grades in a more efficient way. These prices will be used by potential buyers to determine the competitiveness of Canadian exports from Vancouver against those from the US Gulf Coast. In addition, they will allow potential buyers to determine the affordability of Canadian crude compared with alternatives from other countries.
Once the market matures, it is possible that these new assessments could be used in contracts to trade volumes supplied through the pipeline so that participants can purchase them at the dock and either resell the crude on the spot market or take it into their own systems.
