Biden to Import Venezuelan Oil to Meet US Demand – President Trump’s Energy Independence Policies Will Continue to be Ignored

[tahuyaman]

We are producing 13 million bpd which is a new production record for the US. We use 20 million bpd. How is that about foreign policy?

Do you have a point, dumb ass? Are you intentionally stupid?

 

[tahuyaman]

there are alot of factors that have an effect on fuel efficiency.
One big one is aerodynamics of the vehicle, and adding stuff to the outside of the car increases air drag.
then more gas is required, increasing fuel costs.

You’re an idiot.

 

[surada]

Save it. I know

Now sit down your posts are easily searchable. You're a fraud, I've even got one archived when you claimed to be Christian.

Now sit

I have never claimed to be in the oil business. I grew up in Ghawar, you moron. Search away. I was confirmed in the Episcopal church in Charleston, SC in 1961. You're just really ignorant.

Huh? You’re not smart.

 

[BlindBoo]

We can fully supply our own needs today

Not crude oil we can't.

Isn't it cool that we're net exporters now?

Only if you add the LNG exports and all the refined products we export. We have been a net exporter of energy for several years now.

Not crude oil we can't.

Yes we can.

 

[BlindBoo]

Yes we can.

We haven't. We aren't. We'd need to increase our output another 2.5 to 3 mbd. If we do that we would. That or we start driving LNG vehicles to reduce our dependency, or consumption of crude oil.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Lol. Nope. We import more than we export. Our US oil companies don't sell crude oil. They sell specialty refined products abroad.

Nope. We import more than we export.

Nope.
We export more crude and refined products than we import.

Our US oil companies don't sell crude oil.

Some do.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

No I didn't. You have a reading problem.




The U.S. exports more petroleum than it imports. So why are we importing at all?

If you notice that you’re paying more at the pump at some point over the next few weeks, that may be because you’re buying a different blend of gasoline as stocks of winter gas run out and refineries nationwide switch to producing summer blends.

To feed those refineries, last year the U.S. imported more than 8.5 million barrels of petroleum a day. Meanwhile, the U.S. also exported more than 10 million barrels a day.

Wait, what? Why are we selling that oil instead of using it ourselves?

It’s mostly a chemistry problem. The crude oil we’re buying is thick and has lots of sulfur, hence it’s called heavy sour. The stuff we’re pulling up isn’t and doesn’t, so it’s called light sweet.

“All that variation in the chemistry of the oil means that you can’t refine all oil the same way. They have to go through different processes,” said Hugh Daigle, a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

Is it cheaper to borrow now?

He said our refineries were designed to process oil coming from Mexico and Venezuela. “And a lot of that tends to be relatively heavy and relatively high in sulfur,” he said.

Then a little over a decade ago, shale fracking took off in the U.S., and so did the supply of light sweet oil. But even if U.S. refineries could flip a switch and start refining that oil, GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said it’s coming out of the ground in the wrong places.

“The need is infrastructure,” he said. “You may produce all this light sweet crude oil in Texas. But if you don’t have pipelines to the nation’s refineries to deliver it, how are you going to be able to utilize it?”

So importing foreign crude oil is cheaper. Meanwhile, De Haan said, increasing renewable energy demand is making investments in fossil fuels riskier

Nope. We import more than we export.

Were you wrong then or are you wrong now? DURR

Obviously. Why do you think we import so much crude?
To refine it and export it for a profit!

 

[BlindBoo]

Why do you think we import so much crude?

Because we don't produce enough oil crude to refine all the gasoline our vehicles burn. We've had to import oil for our cars for over a half a century. We import more oil 7.0 mbd than we export 4.1 mbd.

US refineries are set up to refine heavy, sour crude with a high sulfur content...from Mexico, Venezuela and Canada.

In March the Biden gang decided to begin talks with the corrupt and brutal Venezuelan Maduro regime. This regime is a continuation of the corrupt Chavez regime but this is no problem for the Biden/Obama Administration and may actually be preferable. Maduro rules over the people of Venezuela with an iron fist.
After Biden destroyed America’s energy independence, gas prices have risen to historic heights. Biden/Obama’s answer has been to go overseas for oil rather than allow Americans to drill for oil in the US.
President Trump showed that the US has enough oil and reserves and the ability to drill for oil. His policies made the US energy independent and an oil exporter. As a result, gas prices in the US were half as much as they are today.
Biden’s answer to rising gas prices is to import oil from brutal regimes rather than allow Americans to drill. It’s now being reported that Biden is going to purchase oil from Venezuela to meet US demand.

Commentary:
How to go from an independent oil producing country to an energy dependent country... Fraudulently elect a president in 2020 bent on destroying America.
Banks were discouraged from lending oil companies money by Obama and now Biden. This is why there are shortages of Gasoline, Diesel and Natural Gas. But the biggest problem of all is the shortage of Fossil Fuel Fertilizers. 1 in 4 people on Earth are now facing chronic starvation for at least the next 4 years.
Who are the real terrorists of American Economy? Progressive Maoist Democrats. Everything they claim about the 'Right' they themselves are doing and worse.
Their 2019 to 2020 Summer of 'Love' destroying cities, 2021 closing of the pipeline and refineries, pulling of Petroleum leases, etc. Now the supply chain stoppage, Inflation and fuel and food shortages are all things designed by the Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats to destroy America led by our dear president Joseph Robinette Biden.
Now Biden wants to rely on Venezuelan petroleum output which is more difficult to refine because of high concentrations of Sulphur.
Please note: When the U.S. companies left, so did the technology and experience that it took to run their refineries as Venezuelan crude is heavy sour crude. Their oil industry rightly “crashed”.
Only a handful of refineries are designed and capable of refining that stuff: The ones in Venezuela, and two that I know of that exist in the USA...both very old.

Reports: Biden to Ease Venezuela Sanctions After Greenlighting Cash Bonanza for Communist Cuba

Multiple anonymous senior officials told reporters that Biden is planning to soon ease sanctions on dictator Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.

Lol. Oil from Canada and Mexico is also sour, heavy crude with a high sulfur content. That's what US refineries are set up for.

 

[KissMy]

We haven't. We aren't. We'd need to increase our output another 2.5 to 3 mbd. If we do that we would. That or we start driving LNG vehicles to reduce our dependency, or consumption of crude oil.

We have already peaked in US oil production again. That's why we are already turning much of our nature gas into liquid fuel for our current vehicles.

Thanks for the links.

The 3rd one shows we're net exporters.

Further down the page, it shows we even export gasoline.

Indeed. And we still manage to be net exporters.

The second line shows our net crude oil imports.

We are energy independent (on paper) because of the other products we export, but we are still slaves to the price of oil on the world market.

Right, we net import oil because we net export even more oil products.

We're net exporters.

We're not slaves, because we make money on the products.

 

[BlindBoo]

Right, we net import oil because we net export even more oil products.

We're net exporters.

We're not slaves, because we make money on the products.

Petroleum products like NG, which we have an abundance of, not oil. We are still oil dependent. Granted we are a lot closer to being a net exporter of oil than we were in 2008
