This story is about doubling gasoline production, not doubling oil production.

Instead of exporting oil to us, they can export gasoline and make the refining profit as well.

You're right..
I need to read more carefully...the word "refining" went right past my old eyes...

Thanks for the correction...

Bingo.

US refineries are operating at nearly 100%, and any event, such as a major hurricane, will result in gasoline shortages.

Even though I believe Peak Oil is about to hit, it still makes sense to build more refineries to protect against refinery disruptions.
