Yeah...just as I suspected... you don't know a thing about oil. ROFL.Motiva is owned by the Saudis.. I think its the largest refinery in the US ... located in Texas.
The oil we import from Canada and Mexico is heavy sour crude.
No oil is sold unrefined...it has to be made into light sweet crude. Ready for cracking into precursors to the millions of things we actually make out of oil.
But the chemical makeup of light sweet crude oil is not the same it usually varies by region. (There is no such thing as sour crude just like there is no such thing as OPEC price)
Most Canadian oil is great for plastics and heating oil. Mexican oil is good for RBOB and diesel. Most of the Permian basin is good for both lubricants and fuels. Same with South American oil.
