I thought we kept mostly sweet crude there.
Not that heavy crude from Venezuela.

Nobody will admit it. But, the only way to deal with the national debt is to demand gifts from other nations.

Sounds like we are going to top off our reserves with Venezuelan oil.

What exactly is the difference in the two & how is one better or worse than the other? Can they be mixed - these questions are for all those LSU petroleum engineers out there!

Sour crude has a higher sulfur content than sweet. Sour crude is more difficult to refine and as such more expensive to refine. Sweet crude is more expensive to purchase because it's easier to refine.
Yes, they can be mixed, and often are to adjust sulfur content.

Some war. It lasted about 30 minutes.

Well, balance sheets are really what it is all about. Now, when an extremely formidable military, economic, and technological power is involved, balance sheets are just a formality.

All true but he left out that 70% of the US's refining capacity is designed for sour crude.

Most of the Gulf refineries are designed for sour crude. There’s a reason why American light is called WEST Texas sweet crude.

Still won’t do shite for prices…..most refineries are already running well above nameplate capacity.

But Burt Reynolds said we were a week away from having none

Venezuela produces heavy crude, the type many Gulf Coast refineries were designed to process. Much U.S. production is lighter shale crude, while Gulf Coast refiners have historically relied on heavier imports from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela.
