Ah but we do. US refineries are set to refine heavy crude; US oil fields produce light or sweet crude. We have little or no capacity to refine it, thanks in part to NIMBY sentiments. Therefore, to keep US refineries going we need to import heavy crude.

You got it. Future refinery design will be based on American crude analysis while present design is based on ME distillation data and Venezuelan crude. If we will be allowed to develop our oil and gas industry.
