No, it will just leak all over your land and potentially pollute the water table making your drinking water too toxic to drink.

When a sewer pipe, that is underground, breaks the stuff comes up some place you will not like.

Because the hundreds of thousands of miles of oil pipe that we currently have are such an issue.

Guess what? The northern part is being built. The idiot in the WH can't stop it. States rights. Why do you think the environazis are going nuts? The only part the idiot can control is crossing the border with Canada. And with NAFTA, trucks and trains can load with crude in Canada, cross the border and dump in the Northern terminus of Keystone XL. And not thing one the environazis or the idiot can do to stop it.

Oil from Tar Sands is a very heavy crude which will require costly upgrades to refineries to make into lower weight products if not the building of completely new ones. Very few US refineries are capable of using it and the extra refining processing will mean a more costly product like gasoline. It is not unlike oil from Venezuela and only one refiner in the US Cities Service Co(Citgo) could handle it (one of the reasones The Venezuelans bought Citgo a few years ago was ensure Venezuela would still have a US buyer). Tar Sands Oil will mostly be exported to China where the new upgrades to the Panama Canal financed and built by China of great help in speeding it on its way to China where American contractors will build new refineries to be operated by Chinese companies as is their practice.
