How much oil does China import from Iran? Sure seems a lot of politicians, both here and abroad, are rooting for Iran.

… but seriously Jstaton aipac doesn’t have to register under fara like china and other foreign countries do

… jfk insisted on it … but that didn’t work out

…. That’s the left wing Soros funded types here for the most part

… both sides are being played … been that way for awhile

… right now we’re in a mark levin neocon cycle

… what cycle we never get is a true America first cycle

… but china is definitely rooting for Iran … that’s their source of cheap energy

Settle down!!

…. Don’t think anyone got riled up that I can tell

Nephew that NA beer has you talking like a financial genius. Geopolitical engineer.
You guys talk about refinery. South Ky and northern Tennessee are full of mom and pop refineries that big oil bought and closed. One’s that wouldn’t sell big oil had the politicians regulate them out of business

He's doing a job that no other president has done in forty years

Or ever...

Why don't you put a little credit in the Bible? Where it talks about the Israelite's and the palestinians, not ever having peace peace peace. There is no peace. It stems all the way back to abraham.And his wife's hand maden'

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Until most of the physical state of Illinois walls off the cancerous blob on the north end of the state and chases most of the Springfield crowd there before pasting up the last bricks.

I think the last gas sign I saw here (but will check again tomorrow) was $3.74 but my last 20 gallons we bought for $2.35 because we had HyVee Fuel Saver points. I've only paid over $4 gas a few times, the last time it was with Biden.

…330 …I don’t care if they have peace or not

… if you’re a Christian you shouldn’t support either one

… they both deny Christ as the son of God and think they’re superior to you

A Google AI Overview about the "light" vs "heavy" U.S. crude discussion. So most of the oil that the CONUS is now producing is "new" (post fracking acquired) compared to the past. It appears most of the "heavy" oil we refine is from Canada and Mexico, and now again I suspect from Valenzuela. I'll ask about AK crude next.

Over 80% of U.S. crude oil production in the Lower 48 states is "light" (API >35), driven by shale production in the Permian and Bakken basins. Conversely, production of heavy crude (API <30) is relatively low, making up only 10% of lower 48 production as of early 2022.
U.S. Crude Production Breakdown (Lower 48)

Light Crude (API >35): Over 80%
Medium Crude (API 30–35): Small share
Heavy Crude (API <30): ~10%

Key Takeaways

Production vs. Refinery Needs: While the U.S. produces mostly light crude, around 60-70% of U.S. refineries are designed to process heavy crude.
Import/Export Balance: To meet these needs, the U.S. imports heavy crude, largely from Canada and Mexico (60% and 7% of imports, respectively).
Recent Trends: Due to technological improvements in hydraulic fracturing, U.S. production has trended toward lighter, higher-API oil over the last decade, resulting in a large export market for U.S. light oil.

Note: Data primarily based on reports from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and industry analysis from API.

What Google AI Overview said about Alaskan crude:


Alaskan produced petroleum, specifically the widely produced Alaska North Slope (ANS) blend, is primarily considered a medium-density or medium-gravity crude oil. While it is not as light as many Lower-48 crudes, it is generally not classified as heavy crude, but rather fits into the medium sour category (typically
API).
Key Characteristics of Alaskan Oil:

Density: ANS is often classified as a medium crude with an API gravity around
.
Type: It is generally classified as "medium sour," containing some sulfur but generally acting as a stable, intermediate product.
Variations: While the main ANS blend is medium, Alaska also holds significant deposits of heavier, more viscous oil, such as the Ugnu heavy oil deposit, which is heavily monitored but less commonly produced than ANS.
Comparison: It is thicker than Light Tight Oil (LTO) produced in the Bakken or Permian basins, making it more similar to foreign medium-heavy imports, explains the Alaska Business Magazine.

While some new developments focus on heavier viscous oil, the bulk of historic and current production (ANS) remains in the medium category.

Savell , you have that backwards , that's the Muslim chant , to destroy Iseral.
Maybe quit drinking Budweiser products.

Bradford PA refinery processes light sweet crude oil . There is also one in Warren PA

$4.19 here with no increase in the last 2-3 weeks.

Still under 4 here.... for now.

Religion is the driver behind this whole mess

I figure the driver is the Military Industrial Complex...
