Near the Gulf Coast just east of Texas’ oil-rich Permian Basin

The boy has a problem with geography. It is 500 miles East of the Permian Basin

I agree. Secession followed by independence is the only way Texas will survive. I lived in Texas 30+ years and then came to Pennsylvania. What a terrible, terrible mistake.

Texas is the most honest places I have ever lived or worked.

Pa has dishonesty at virtually every level. I can’t think place any worse since I was my own source of job earned income—almost 50 years now.

I could list how PA is dishonest...starting with little towns to horrendous big cities, etc. And in my opinion there are many women who work but few who can actually exercise their trained abilities.

I no longer have the ability to work at any job for any anybody at any place. I have an advanced form of something like MS and the money I had saved is long gone.... It is discouraging. And to make it all the more interesting, I cannot afford to move, sell my beat up old house, pay the bills that are outstanding because I do not have the where-withall in any place to pay for what I owe or they say I owe.

I admit, however, I am very grateful to be considered a veteran but it still doesn’t add well at all to my money pot.

—”I think this expansion was done to accept oil from the Keystone XL.”

Maybe not.

XL was originally from the oil sands of Canada pumping diluted bitumen; the stuff is so thick it is diluted with a solvent to pump.

The new addition is running Permian crude, not the same stuff.

Building completely new refineries has not been possible for years.

“Unleashing” and they put the much needed in quotes. Nice, how you lace as much editorial content as you can into a simple headline. The little leftist at FBC is or probably not even aware they are doing it

Ok. The keystone was supposed to run to Port Arthur. Same general area.

Good for XON, we need this refining capacity. Hopefully they are anticipating a better political environment for Oil in 2024.

EIA sez: (US crude oil exports)

“Asia and Oceania remained the regional destination receiving the most U.S. crude oil exports in 2022, 43% (1.55 MMbpd). Europe ranked a close second, at 42% (1.51 MMbpd). Asia and Oceania are the regions that have received the greatest volume of U.S. crude oil since 2017, with Europe receiving the second-most since 2018.”

i’m guessing big oil doesn’t believe the U.S. transportation fleet is going to be replaced with hundreds of millions of battery-driven vehicles any time soon ... certainly, oil stocks are at or near all time high prices, and they went up even more immediately after dementia joe announced his new BS “everything will be electric” edicts ...

How did Exxon get Biden’s Criminal Regime to approve this? Maybe Biden figgered he could talk about how’s “working” to lower energy costs for voters in 2024 office run.

t just east of Texas’ oil-rich Permian Basin

Just a short 9 hour, 560 mile hop. Sort of like driving from New York to New Haven - by way of Washington DC.
