NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/12 -- The oil and gas sector is set to play a big political role this election year as President Obama must decide whether or not to approve the controversial Keystone Pipeline which would send tar sands crude from Alberta to Texas. Originally, The Obama administration announced said that it would delay a final decision in order to complete additional environmental studies. However Republicans in Congress are seeking to force Obama's hand as the pipeline has become a cause for Republican presidential candidates.

Last week at his annual "State of American Energy" speech, American Petroleum Institute head Jack Gerard proclaimed that President Obama faces "huge political consequences" if he does not approve the proposed 1,700-mile Keystone XI pipeline that would link Alberta's oil stands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Obama administration must decide by February 21 to accept or deny a permit for the project.

The American Petroleum Institute believes that the potential for the project to create jobs, both in construction and in refineries and chemical plants that would use the oil brought from Canada, means that a decision by the Obama administration to deny a permit would be politically damaging.

The pipeline would move 525,000 barrels of Alberta crude a day to a port at Kitimat, British Columbia, where it could be shipped in large volumes on tankers to Asia for the first time.
