Oil sand crude.

Refineries that are set up to only handle Brent Seas oil, a cleaner oil, are shutting down because of cost. Over 6 million barrels/day are now lost because 3 of them can't make a profit on Brent oil anymore.

So, how many refineries will be able to handle Canadian oil sand oil, and at what cost?
