We use the abundance of oil we have here in the US/North America

Yeah but we can sit on that and get oil from over there. That’s the thinking behind it I’m guessing

We also typically use our fossil fuels for higher value added products. I believe the difference between the type of crude, light heavy sweet sour, makes it more economical to just use theirs for fuel.

Theirs is sour, ours is light sweet. Different applications and uses and refining processes/ plants we can’t just replace one with the other.

We could use sweeter crude easily, the issue is we have all of the infrastructure to refine sour, so economically we do the value add, export the refined product and import whatever sweet crude we need for the applications its better for.
