Perhaps they don't think the supply of available oil justifies much additional refinery capacity? That is possible but I don't think its actually true. Its a lot true. Consumption has remained fairly static for the past 15 years. Apparently, energy conservation measures have had an impact. As a consequence, the amount of crude that needs to be refined can be handled with the current amount of capacity. However, capacity is tight and when a plant goes down for maintenance or because of a problem, we experience a temporary shortage. eia.doe.gov ted
