Refined gas has been piped for years from Edmontons refinerys to Calgary.

Poorboy,
Not sure if you missed my post above APPL is the line.

So OUR EXISTING pipe lines can transport any oil product... it is a RED HERRING to say refine the crude oil... if/when we do refine oil to a specific product/S... normal efficient distribution would be to use a pipe line FOR the finished products if capacity exists.

Since We are obviously short of pipeline capacity NOW to BC; west from Alberta... we also use much more dangerous transport with TRAINS and TRUCKS to fill the shortage of capacity... which is MUCH more costly and burns many times the amount of fuel (excess CO2 and N0x produced) to distribute these many petroleum products whatever they may be.

BACKGROUND on transport of liquid petroleums:

"Moving liquids through pipelines
Producing oil fields commonly have a number of small diameter gathering lines that gather crude oil from the wells and move it to central gathering facilities called oil batteries. From here, larger diameter feeder pipelines transport the crude oil to nearby refineries and to long-haul pipelines. The largest pipelines, called transmission lines, transport crude oil and other liquids across the country.

Powerful pumps spaced along the pipeline push the liquid through the pipe at between four and eight kilometres per hour.

Liquids pipelines can be used to move different batches of liquids — on any given day a pipeline could be used to transport different grades or varieties of crude oil — with each batch of liquid is pushed along at the same speed along the pipe. Where the two batches do come in contact with each other there is a small amount of mixing that occurs — these small volumes, known as transmix, are reprocessed

Transmission pipelines transport crude oil to oil refineries — these are the facilities that convert the crude oil into petroleum products through various refining processes. Petroleum products are the useful fuels we use every day. Petroleum products include fuels such as gasoline, aviation fuel, diesel and heating oil, as well as hundreds of products such as solvents and lubricants, as well as raw materials for manufacturing petrochemicals.

Output From a Barrel of Oil (%)
Propane & Butane 2.1%, Light Fuel Oil 3.1%, Asphalt 3.9%, Petro-Chemical Feedstocks 4.5%, Heavy Fuel Oil 5%, Other 5.6%, Jet Fuel 5.9%, Diesel 37.4%, Gasoline 42.7%"
