Low prices may already have contributed to delays in America's decision to begin exporting crude oil, as well as to the political viability of US President Barack Obama's veto of the Keystone XL pipeline, intended to transport oil from the Canadian tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico for export. Add to that the delay in the opening of the Mexican energy sector, and it seems that low oil prices could amount to a net gain for the Kingdom.
低价格可能已导致美国推迟下达实施出口原油的决定，并增加了美国总统奥巴马否决旨在将原油从加拿大油砂田输送到墨西哥湾的Keystone XL石油出口管道的政治可行性。再加上墨西哥能源部门的延迟开放，似乎低油价能为沙特这个石油王国带来净收益。
