    It super does though the specific characteristics vary depending on where it was extracted (iirc crude from the canadian oil sands is borderline explosive)

      That’s US domestic crude which is famously volatile. I’d be curious to see what Venezeula’s oil is like. I’ve heard it’s similar to the shitty heavy crude from the Middle East, which the US has facilities to process, unlike the domestic oil they produce which has to be processed elsewhere.
