Glenn Reynolds notes:

This week, crude spun out of Canada’s oil sands came all the way to this flat Oklahoma prairie town that’s known as the oil pipeline capital of the world.

Enbridge, a Calgary-based oil delivery and storage company, opened the taps to its Spearhead Pipeline, a 650-mile stretch of steel from Chicago to Cushing, and the first western Canada crude sloshed into the company’s mammoth Cushing terminal early Thursday.

For years the pipe, which used to be owned by BP, carried Gulf of Mexico crude to northern markets that needed the oil. But as the Gulf slowly but surely plays out, and Canada’s oil sands production picks up steam, the crude is flowing in a different direction.
