Now to be clear, the lower the number, the heavier the oil.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
Right?
voice-verified
So forty five is the lightest out of that thirty to forty five range.
voice-verified
Eight is what?
voice-verified
four times heavier than the heaviest that is allowed.
voice-verified
So um the way it is, it cannot.
voice-verified
And also a lot of people for whatever reason believe that you can blend it and dilute it with lighter oils and lighten it up.
voice-verified
You can't do that.
voice-verified
You do that in the refining process, but you can't do that in the storage process because over time it separates.
voice-verified
Now, this stuff doesn't stay blended forever.
voice-verified
Um, light oil and heavy oil is just like oil and water.
voice-verified
Eventually, if you shake it up and just set it down, it'll it'll separate.
voice-verified
The one way this could happen is if the oil could be run through an upgrading process, which is a form of refining.
voice-verified
It's what Canada does to a lot of their bitumen and heavy oils up there.
voice-verified
But uh Venezuela doesn't have the upgrading capacity to basically convert this heavy oil into a light oil.
voice-verified
to put into the SPR.
voice-verified
And so they would have to build an upgrader um at ten to twelve billion dollars and probably five to seven years of construction time.
voice-verified
That's the only way it would work.
