The existence of the pipeline very well could induce demand equivalent or greater than what will be wasted transporting it by other means.

It’s pretty similar arithmetic that this will result in more carbon released. Comically, the way to stop production is to lower the price of oil so extraction no longer makes sense from these locations. If anything a higher price for oil means more extraction because it becomes more profitable. And more oil transported using dirtier means.
