Are we exporting the crude internationally and in effect importing the refined products(s) back to a great extent?

I've seen predictions for internal combustion engine production will essentially drop to zero in 10 years

Right on queue I just heard on TV a man say the US is now (now) the worlds largest producer of oil. I guess for me im just sitting here wondering how we can somehow greatly reduce or even eliminate any dependence on ME oil. To become more self sufficient if ever needed.

Rarely...specialty stuff.
We export quite a bit though.

The industry didn't back itself into it.
When the refineries were first built, the U.S. was not producing enough oil. That's why the majority of refineries are near coasts, to import oil, because we didn't have enough. So they were built to handle the type of oil that they could import from Venezuela, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, etc.

You have sweet crude and sour crude. Most of what is produced in the gulf is sweet crude which pretty much means it is lower sulfur. The refinery I work for is a sweet crude facility. We mainly just run crude produced in the gulf.

This prediction was based on the take over by ev's and would be market driven not regulation driven. Presentation laid out a bunch of points but the main one was the futher development of batteries and the $/kwh decreasing rapidly

New York Mercantile Exchange designates petroleum with less than 0.5% sulfur as sweet.[1][2]
Petroleum containing higher levels of sulfur is called sour crude oil.

you're never gonna eliminate ME oil. Reduce sure, but never eliminate.

I’m confused why you’re trying to distinguish sweet versus sour. The OPwas asking about heavy versus light

Why wouldn't we be retrofitting existing refineries to handle our own oil rather than someone else's?
Existing contract, markets, deals etc.
With that said, the U.S. are net exporters. We export more O&G than we import.

Maybe a dumb question...
Is the issue with refining domestically sourced oil an issue with the oil itself or a is it due to the requirements of combustion engines?
In other words, does an engine require the blends
