So if some refineries need more heavy crude, cant they just get loads of Canadian sand oil and cut it in?

Shipping by ship to Gulf Coast refineries is WAY cheaper and the “bandwidth” is easily expanded.

“...after the inauguration of Nicolas Maduro as president of Venezuela for a second term after elections considered illegitimate by Washington.”
As if we are in ANY POSITION to comment on the legitimacy of elections.

I took a Southern Caribbean cruise in November. There were stops in Curacao and Aruba. Both are having problems with refugees fleeing Venezuela. In Curacao, they opened the "floating market" again. That's where Venezuelan fishermen and farmers sell their produce. I saw those starving, decent, hard working people. I gave one $1 for two bananas, and he insisted I take six! These are real people. Let's stop punishing governments, and start working with them. Otherwise, it only serves to create more countries which are in chaos and can't sustain their population. But it's a real good situation for corporate oil interests and those who favor cheap labor.
True conservatives would want to help those farmers and fishermen. Not make their lives even worse.

There’s politics, and there’s living expenses. I can’t afford a big jump in the price of fuel oil. It’s already one of my worst expenses.

Arm them. And let the Venezuelans deal with the Commie Filth.

We are shipping LNG and Propane to Europe. No we are not shipping LNG to NE. To do so would require a US flagged LNG ship (Jones Act). There are none. NE has to get LNG from overseas.
To: Texas Fossil; IndispensableDestiny
No, we don’t get our fuel from there, but a price rise in one part of the world tends to spread around.

Canada has no options available to send more oil to the U.S. For the last month production in Canada has been cut due to no more storage space, existing pipelines are at capacity, and further rail capacity is not available. Their heavy oil was selling at a $40 discount instead of a typical $22 below WTI. WCS became unprofitable to extract and process.
O.C. representing the Bronx had a hand in protest against pipelines. The Keystone Pipeline was the preferred way to supply American refinery with Canadian heavy oil. The Albertan sourced oil competed with Venezuelan crude for that spot. Obama favored Chavez and used various strategies to block completion of the pipeline linking the U.S. and Canada.

About 35 years ago I was in line to sail as chief mate on the first US LNG carrier (Jones Act) being planned, AK to CA. CA killed the project.

That is crazy. If we have our own NG, why not use it here first?
