There's only so much storage capacity. Oil has a shelf life of about 3 years in refineries. Longer if stored in salt caverns.

So crude oil can sit in the ground for 300 million years, but as soon as we pump it out it expires in three?

yes. there's a lot of volatile hydrocarbons that react to light, oxygen, etc and can degrade once exposed.

I am pretty sure people are confusing this with gasoline which will polymerize over time. Oil is refined and you can crack it to make more lights and oil from different areas has different composition.

(There's a rumor that oil is actually created by the heat and pressure in the earth's crust and it bubbles up to near the surface.)

Selling it hurts the oil industry, but maybe. More like reserve it for emergencies and war time situations.

well you have to consider that in a true emergency situation where we needed to tap reserves, consumer consumption of that stock would be minimal. even right now im sure we are waaay down from 20 million barrels a day. i think its fair to say that amount of oil would last a good deal longer than 48 days.

It's not like we would run out in 48 days in case of an emergency. The US produces 13M barrels per day so we would only have to make up for that deficit. Plus Canada produces 5M barrels per day and exports half of that to the US. I don't care what kind of emergency we're in there is no way we are letting those cucks cut that off.

However I'm all for expanding our reserves, you can never have too much oil, especially when it's free.

Ha, this Canadian "cuck" says come and take it, bitches.

Don't worry, we will.

You'll have to fight US Big Oil that has been working to keep Canadian oil off the market for decades. We'd love to sell that oil.

Why should you care? Your dog sleds don't run on oil. 😁

Also we can't let the Chi-coms to buy all the oil.
