Original Note:
Due to rising processing and refining costs in the U.S., refiners stateside do not like to use this sour crude (high sulfur concentration) from the SPR, to the point where they stopped buying it. Overseas markets are one of the few buyers right now. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-23/biden-releases-sour-crude-that-s-out-of-favor-with-u-s-refiners#xj4y7vzkg https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/energy/the-us-is-depleting-its-strategic-petroleum-reserve-faster-than-it-looks/2022/06/17/3b899c40-ee04-11ec-9f90-79df1fb28296_story.html https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sourcrude.asp
