We get everything else from China, so why is Walmart not overflowing with cheap Chinese motor oil, etc.?
I had atalk with one of the Directors of MPM, an automotive fluid repackager. He said there's sweet and sour crudes, and they're not both useful to make lubricating oils from. US crudes: good, Middle east crudes: bad...
You get sweet or sour crude everywhere. Only depends on the oil formation it is coming from. Sweet crude means it contains carbon dioxide, sour crude has hydrogen sulphide. That's it. You can have two wells right beside each other, one producing sweet, one producing sour.
