How has the Trans Mountain expansion impacted Canadian crude oil prices and the export market?

The Trans Mountain expansion has narrowed the price differential between Western Canadian Select (WCS) and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) by approximately US$12 per barrel. This is due to increased export capacity, primarily to Asian markets, resulting in a significant increase in Canadian crude oil exports outside the U.S. Crude-by-rail exports have also fallen to levels unseen in over a decade.
