I believe that many US gulf coast refineries are already able to refine heavy crude, and have been for decades. Most of the crude out of Venezuela is heavy crude. I lived near the Chevron refinery in Pascagula, Ms. in the early 1980's and at the time they had a $2 Billion project to retrofit for heavy crude, adding no additional capacity. Then there was a significant discount to heavy crude vs light sweet, which I believe carried on to this day. Also the XL pipeline was going to carry heavy crude from the oil sands area to the midwest, then gulf coast.
