The country faces hurdles at every step, whether reviving output from aging oil wells or overcoming lingering banking constraints that have forced it to sell crude in barter arrangements, according to BNP Paribas SA.

Obama Keystone rejection seen looming as oil rout eases pressure
The Keystone XL review suddenly looks like a priority for the Obama administration, and cheap oil may be part of the reason.

The collapse of crude prices in the face of the US shale boom has lowered gasoline prices, weakening an argument for the $8-billion project that resonated with American voters. This has paved the way for Obama to focus on one issue that’s very dear to him: climate change.
