[quote=Anonymous] What people might not know is that a lot of imports are to MIX oil so that it's the right grade for our refineries. So we send light oil to Canada so they can mix it with their denser oil, and they send it back to us. In net calculations, our Canadian imports are barely positive. This complicates the picture in that it's not just the volume of oil we have to consider, but the qualities of each type of oil from each provenance and how we can use it. It costs money to adjust our ancient refineries, so it's been easier to mix different provenances of oil prior to refining, even though it might involve a veritable ballet of tankers or pipelines criss-crossing the globe. Anyway. Just saying... it's not so simple. [/quote]
