WTI CRUDE

[Into the Night]

The price driver and world standard is Brent.

There is no 'world standard' oil price, Pretender.

I am sure someday they will fall again.

But you are ecstatic they are rising.

Maybe in two months, more likely in 6 to 9 months, if somehow the war is able to find an end.

Trump is ending Iran's "forever wars".

I am willing to bet on 2 months how about you?

Did you go to two in a row that had no gas are were they just random stations that had no gas. And were they out of a grade of gas or were totally out of all grades of gas.

Nah. He just made it all up.

No, it isn't.

They are designed for heavier oil that WTI.

It's just a fact.

It's just a fact.

And a refinery set up for that also handles lighter oil just fine. thanks for playing.

Nope. Like I said, it's just a fact.

Feel free to look it up and educate yourself.

Feel free to keep saying stupid stuff. You look it up; you clearly need to.

AI response:

Yes, a refinery designed for Brent crude can also process lighter oils such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI). However, the efficiency of the operation may be compromised. Refineries are typically optimized for specific types of crude oil, and switching to a different type can lead to operational challenges.

Efficiency Considerations​

When a refinery that is set up for heavier crude like Brent runs lighter oil, it may not utilize its equipment effectively. This can result in:

• Underutilization of Upgrading Units: Equipment designed for breaking down heavier molecules may not operate at optimal capacity with lighter crude.
• Operational Bottlenecks: The higher volume of lighter products can overwhelm certain parts of the refining system, reducing overall throughput.
