Venezuela-U.S. Oil Deal Seen as Long-Term Play for Alberta

The proposed U.S.-Venezuela oil deal has experts predicting it will have little impact on Alberta's energy market for years to come.

'Years' away from having an impact, according to experts. 'It's a long-term play,' said one expert.

The agreement between the United States and Venezuela would involve the export of Venezuelan oil through the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, bypassing Canadian pipelines like Enbridge Inc.'s Line 5.
