US Crude production is up 1.1M barrels/day since Biden took office.
When you see oil articles written with right wing political agenda, they are going to be filled with errors. When they are written with left wing agenda, you don’t see as many errors because the articles don’t get written. Left wing reporters hate oil so much they talk their managing editor into covering something else.
The most prominent in this one is saying a barrel of oil refines 2/3 gasoline and 1/3 distillates (which are diesel and kerosene (jet fuel). This is not how it works.
The constituent yield of a barrel of oil differs by oil field. And differs by the definition of “oil”, which has changed considerably since shale flow began. Shale “oil” tends to be light (as in Light Tight Oil). It is not diesel rich. Russian oil and Libyan oil are diesel rich. US shale oil is not.
This has not a huge problem because most US consumption is gasoline, but it is reality and it does affect what is available.
It’s not particularly dependent on refinery choice of what to output from the process. It is dependent on geology. And Permian Era geology does not care about politics.
US Crude production is up 1.1M barrels/day since Biden took office.
And down by 7000 thousand barrels an day since Biden took office.
One pipe line shut down work ended on the other ZERO gain 100% plus loss.
