Rubio touts U.S. refineries’ ability to process Venezuela’s oil - Axios
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday touted what he called a unique U.S. capability to refine Venezuela’s abundance of crude oil, a linchpin of the Trump administration’s takeover strategy for the country. The big picture: Refineries in the Gulf of America (renamed from Gulf of Mexico) are generally better designed to handle Venezuela’s “heavy” crude than the lighter grades from shale produced from fracking.
Not sure if this was posted in December but it’s seem highly relevant:
Many U.S. oil refineries were built to process heavy Venezuelan crude. Nearly 70% of U.S. refining capacity runs most efficiently with heavier crude - which tends to be a cheaper grade of crude oil because it is more difficult to process and requires refiners to absorb significant upfront investment costs, according to American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, or AFPM, a trade association for American fuel companies. That type of crude is also more widely available in the global market, AFPM said.
Many Gulf Coast refiners would “love to run Venezuelan crude and increase yields of the most attractive products like diesel,” said Kloza. If you have to substitute that heavy oil with light, sweet U.S. shale crude, you’ll "make too much gasoline - which right now is a loser for some refineries," he said.
