From the released EIA estimate for $95 average per WTI bbl for 2014. Forecasts a $9 per barrel WTI discount to Brent.

Opening of the new pipeline should ease bottleneck, glut.

Most importantly (imho anyway). US oil exports? really??

The $9 discount to Brent and the fact that WTI is easier to refine should make WTI a definite winner for 2014 and up. Now if we can just not have the pols and wackos throw a wrench in things.
