Umm yes we can. we are the largest refiner in the world and now the largest exporter of refined product.
No. We can’t.
If we could, why is the price of refined product affected by what happens in the Strait of Hormuz?
US oil production- barrels per day - 13.4 million
US refinery capacity- barrels per day- 18.4 million
US consumption- barrels per day- 20.4 million
We produce 66% of what we use.
We refine 85% of what we use
Draw your own conclusions- I think we need way more production and
refining capacity.
Hard to understand why we’re exporting crude when we need it here.
