Not that fungible. Consider, you are running a refinery. Your refinery can handle light, sweet crude at $55 a barrel or heavy, sour crude at $37 and you get equivalent products. Now true, the costs to process the heavy crude is a little more, but no where near $18 a barrel. No one who can process heavy crude is buying light crude right now. Period.

If the price difference stays $18 a barrel or anything close to that then refineries to use the heavier crude will be built or current refineries will be modified.


A refinery has not been built in this country in over 20 years.
