drpepperTX Champion Author Texas Posts:8,929 Points:749,935 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Jun 23, 2012 8:44:14 PM Ignore drpepperTX Report Abuse US increased production (increased supply and less imported at Brent prices) has certainly been part of the reason oil prices have declined. There's no doubt about that.

And futher research will reveal that the vast majority exported distillates are refined from imported crude oils. Domestic crude and refined product from that crude stays mostly within the US."

"At present, petroleum products (e.g., gasoline, kerosene, distillates, propane or butane gas, diesel fuel and residual fuel oil) refined within the United States are not subject to short supply export controls, with one exception. If the refined products were produced or derived from crude oil obtained from the Naval Petroleum Reserve (NPR) or became available as a result of an exchange of any NPR produced or derived commodities, a license is required to all destinations including Canada."
