How Canada’s New Pipeline is Shaping Oil and Gas Economics – Mike Mauceli, Rory Johnston
In this episode of the Energy Show with REI Energy, host Mike Mauceli is joined by Rory Johnston, founder of Commodity Context, to explore the significant impact of Canada's new Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX). This episode delves deep into the complexities of the energy sector, focusing on how the TMX is poised to reshape the Canadian and global oil markets.
Introduction to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
The Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) has been a topic of much debate and anticipation, particularly regarding its potential effects on American oil and gas prices and the broader global economy. Initially proposed in the early 2010s by Kinder Morgan, the TMX aims to triple the capacity of the existing 70-year-old pipeline from 300,000 barrels per day to an impressive 890,000 barrels per day. Despite numerous political and environmental hurdles, the pipeline became operational in the summer of 2023, marking a significant milestone for Canadian oil producers.
Rory Johnston's Expertise in the Oil Sector
Rory Johnston brings a wealth of knowledge to the discussion, having had an extensive career in commodity economics, including leading research at Scotiabank. His platform, Commodity Context, offers data-driven insights into the commodity market, particularly oil. Rory’s expertise provides a well-rounded understanding of the TMX and its broader implications.
Key Implications of the TMX
The TMX is a game-changer for Canada, which relies heavily on oil exports to the United States. With over 95% of Canadian crude heading south, the TMX offers much-needed diversification, allowing Canadian producers to access Asian markets, particularly China and India. This shift reduces Canada's dependency on U.S. demand, offering more stability and strategic opportunities for Canadian oil.
Technical Insights on Crude Oil Grades
Rory provides a detailed comparison of different crude oil types, explaining how density and sulfur content affect market value and refining complexity. Understanding these technical aspects is crucial for grasping the economic advantages of various crude grades and the role of specialized refining facilities.
Pipeline vs. Rail: A Safer and Cost-Effective Alternative
The episode also highlights the inefficiencies of relying on rail for oil transportation, particularly during peak production periods. The TMX offers a more cost-effective and safer alternative, ensuring long-term stability for Canadian oil exports.
Future of Pipeline Infrastructure in Canada
Looking forward, Rory discusses the need for further investments in Canadian pipeline infrastructure, even as the TMX provides much-needed relief. He also touches on the political dimensions that could affect future projects, including the unlikely revival of Keystone XL.

Let’s be very clear about one thing. The “market” has been massively wrong on what the Fed should do with the funds rate for at least 2.5 years now. In early 2022 before the Fed even started hiking, the market was already forecasting rate cuts to happen by end of 2022. The market at the start of 2024 had 7 rate cuts for 2024. Laughable to suggest the Fed is the one that has been getting this wrong. It has proven out that they were right to start hiking in early 2022, aggressively ramp up that funds rate, and then keep it at the terminal rate until now. Also, the Fed on numerous occasions has stated that a recession will likely occur as a result of this hiking cycle. The market consensus has been no or soft landing, which is another thing they will be massively wrong on………..I’ve been engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 140k to a decent 539k….I’m especially grateful to Milton Harper, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
MiIton Harper program is widely available online..
Access to good information is what we investors needs to progress financially and generally in life. this is a good one and I appreciate.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Milton support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams.
Best signal provider in the market. Knowledgeable, level headed no loss like some other traders who recently jumped on the bandwagon.
Well this is not my first time of seeing his name on social platform. I think he’s extremely brilliant and lucrative at the same time..
Appreciate the advice! Bought AWS46X at $1, holding for 10x gains. Major exchanges like Coinbase, Bybit, and Binance are set to list it soon. Your insights always lead to great investments. Excited about this opportunity, thanks for the tip! Looking forward to significant returns!
Just watched your video discussing AWS46X and I am very excited about this
Thanks for the insights! BTC’s stability and ETH’s upcoming updates are encouraging. DOGE has strong community support. I see a great opportunity in new cryptos, so I invested $5,000 in AWS46X. Excited for its future! 🚀
I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated
You need an expert. I’m guided by Adviser Bruce Murdock a widely known consuitant.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I’m especially grateful to Adviser Bruce Murdock, for his expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
My colleagues had a good laugh at me when I told them I started my journey with $50k capital and how I accumulated over 6 figures within a span of 7 months. They never believed me until I pulled out my P&L.
I know that learning the ins and outs of the market isn’t for everyone, that’s why personally, Bruce Murdock oversees my investments.
Without a doubt! Bruce Murdock is a trader who goes above and beyond. he has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. His strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. How can i reach him if you don’t mind me asking?
