No, it is not hard to refine heavy, high sulfur crude oils into desirable gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuels, asphalt and high sulfur fuel oils providing the refinery vessels, pipes and storage facilities are built using the proper metallurgy. The sulfur is corrosive to the metals if not designed properly. Also, the high sulfur heavy crude oil produces much more heavy fuel oils and less gasoline than the lighter sweeter crudes. So the refining vessels have to be designed to take care of this fact as well. Refineries are built to accommodate the crude feed stock that will be available to the refinery.

i see no need to ever return those vessels: they were seized in violation of international sanctions ...

“Senior administration officials are expected to meet the tankers in the coming days at an event scheduled to mark the docking, the officials said” ...
yeah, so they can rub the seizure in the faces of Iran and Venezuela AND send a signal to the rest of the world to not violate international sanctions ...
btw, i’d LOVE to know the story of how the U.S. seized these tankers WITHOUT military intervention!
