LA Mid-Continent O&G Association responds to Gov. Landry’s call to restrict diesel exports

BATON ROUGE — Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association President Tommy Faucheux today released a statement in response to Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry's request to the White House and Congress to issue a 90-day-ban on U.S. diesel exports.
“Pipelines for domestic diesel transportation are already at max capacity. Without available capacity to redirect supply, halting the export of American diesel would force refineries to reduce production which would also decrease the production of gasoline,” said Tommy Faucheux. “This is a misguided proposal that would cause more harm and increase, not decrease, costs for American families and businesses.”
Faucheux’s statement echoes comments by U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright during a September 17th interview with the Daily Caller where he confirmed that a diesel export ban would force a reduction in refining, due to a lack of domestic pipeline capacity and storage, and result in an increase in fuel prices.

Gov. Jeff Landry posted on his tweeter a few days ago:

Yep.
People who don’t know about the inner workings and such of any particular industry shouldn’t be running their mouth about it.

Yeah this isnt a supply issue in america
Its a consequence of a global economy
If anything supply here might go up because maybe f250 baws will think twice about going to the camp every weekend or hauling the contender to grand isle if diesel is $6 a gallon

Hard disagree.
Speaking aloud what seems logical and then getting a good reason as to why it doesn't work that way is a fantastic way to have conversations.
I learned something new, and I'm always grateful for knowledge.

Oh I’m sure it is a global supply issue, but that can’t be talked about openly due to hoarding and panic

That includes the media and most politicians.

It's not like he couldn't get six or eight Subject Matter Experts on a 30 min video call and say "Hey, I am thinking about doing this. What do you guys think?" Then take their input and form a plan before running your mouth on social media.
Getting a bunch of people to vote you in to office somehow makes the elected think they are instantly an expert on all matters.

Ok, I understand.
I guess I was directing it more at certain political figures and media people in general.

Fair... but I probably wouldn't personally have gotten to know the correct framing on this if the below solution had happened.

For someone like me, this format got my attention. It took something that I had wondered about and honestly felt a bit salty over and turned it on its head in a way I could understand without having a background in the subject matter at hand.

Usually knowing how wrong they are on a topic lets you realize how wrong they are on most other subjects.
The talking points are out there. They sre parroted on this site as well.

Landry just spews whatever falls into his small mind.

It’s quite possible doing this would have a net positive on the US economy within the 90 day timeframe he proposed and even a little longer. We’re talking strictly US.

Correct, but people don't seem to understand that international demand can impact domestic price.
We produce roughly 1.7M bpd (barrels per day) more than we use, with that excess being sold internationally. If we were to completely ban international diesel sales tomorrow, refineries would have to start backing down production drastically otherwise we would hit max storage capacity within about a week. If production dropped 20% below demand, it would take almost 3 months to burn through 50% of that maxed supply.
Considering our trade imbalance, you could pretty much guarantee prices on anything imported would skyrocket. While this might help in the longer run to spur domestic production of various things, the transition in the economy might trigger the consumer credit bubble to pop.

maybe a global economy doesn't serve our economy much anymore
all it's seemed to do is deindustrialize the US and flood us with cheap shite

Ok so your telling me that if there is an increase in domestic supply of diesel and domestic demand is the same, that prices would rise?

And the fact that one of those people is the governor of a major O&G state is......problematic.

So there is no place to put more diesel domestically, but there is a 'shortage' and pirces have to go up?
Doesn't make sense.

You are right Cosmo. This whole thing could be solved by F250 owners switching the Cybertrucks.
