james i thought companies like xon built numerous refineries down there because we couldn't build them here. The process was to refine the heavy crude there and ship much more cleaned up processed crude to u.s. for the refineries here. i do not remember our u.s. refineries being equipped to process heavy crude. I do remember west coast refineries being converted for alaska crude to process that heavy stuff and its only source was west coast refineries.

citgo , sunoco etc get a lot of crude from vz but they process all types of crude blending both vz and crude purchases on open market.

The refineries in vz were to supplement the refineries we couldn't build in the united states and to also take away part of the refinery processes to cut back on required expansion to handle the crude. yes, some refineries do handle heavy crude and have been converted but i thought it was only a few.

if the refineries are operational in vz, would there be a problem with them shipping this crude to whom ever besides the u.s.
