Almost as if its not and we are cucked. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crude oil is a highly diverse and chemically complex commodity and as a country we need a mix of crude types/grades for different uses. We actually have quite a good variety of crude in UK waters but not as wide a variety as we need. So we could pump oil until we’re drowning in it and we would still need to import. We do need more lighter crude however and as it happens our Brent index crude is about as good as it gets, certainly compared with much of the sulphurous stuff from the Middle East. You’re right though Saudi Extra Light and Super Light crude is probably tops for petrol production. Edited March 8, 2022 by Bill 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,345 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I wonder if Extinction Rebellion are planning to head over to Russia to sort out Putin. Or will they just continue to harrass and disrupt the lives of UK citizens going about their daily business, as usual. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
