The Canadian oil producer is “interested in rail economics going forward,” but the rise in Canadian heavy crude prices since the December mandated production cuts have made rail shipments “difficult to justify,” said Steve Reynish, a Suncor executive vice president, at the CERAWeek conference.

Gulf Coast oil refiners have scrambled for heavy crude supplies after U.S. sanctions on Venezuela’s state-run PDVSA halted its exports of the grade to the United States.
