Here is a thoughtful article that points out some of the complexities the US is facing. Regrettably the shortage of functional refineries can't be solved in any short period of time. I wonder what it would take to get the one that was trashed about 2 hurricanes back to function again?

There have been 5 refineries shut down in the last two years. This has reduced the U.S. refining capability by about 5%.

There is no incentive for Oil Companies to invest Billions of dollars into upgrading, repairing or building new refineries amidst a hostile environment.....hell bent on eliminating fossil fuels and petroleum production.

an environment that recognizes the need for one and provides for the legal and structural certainty to that end.

The refinery capacity issues have been with us for a couple of decades under several administrations, yet no corporate boards have invested in construction of new facilities.

What is current vs past refining capacity? In my state there has been a refinery closure, yet the refining capacity has increased. This is because other refineries have been upgraded to handle more capacity and the closed unit was a smaller less efficient operation.

Partly because in the past we've been able to import crude oil to supplement domestic production at rates and prices favorable to all (or most). Quite a few things have changed in the last two decades.

Just shy of 18m bpd as of Q3 2022. That's significantly less than Q4 2019 and what we currently consume. So the U.S.A is not only importing crude, it is also importing refined products.

The US is also exporting both crude and refined products.

From this: “U.S. crude oil production in our forecast averages 11.7 million b/d in 2022 and 12.4 million b/d in 2023, which would surpass the record high set in 2019.”

The US is also exporting both crude and refined products.
