damn México has never been able to figure that out 😭
Would be a great development for them, México oil has always been categorized as low quality due to it being very heavy which has resulted in Pemex exporting it to special refineries in the US specialized in refining heavy dense oil.
Not exactly low quality, there’s more into this than it appears. Central and South America, Caribbean, China and Iranian crude oil are rare mineral heavy which historically has been very difficult to refine, which is why American imperialists favors Gulf vassals for clean crude oil. However as the needs for rare earth manufacturing driven by the material conditions of tech industry competition, these countries are sitting on the resource treasures that could be utilized to alleviate their own inequality and industrialization, but there’s only two countries that have this kind of tech, one is China and the other is USA, and the latter is running out of rare earth reserves which is why they’re in Venezuela and especially Iran right now. Americans are methodically ruthless empire that stop at nothing until they get their profit, until they get smothered by the indigenous like Iran done to them in Isfahan battle. The map below should explain why.
Here’s an articleby TeleSUR that goes into more detail about this development, and it’s potential implications.
Thank you comrade
is this that russian oil that keeps on poking through the blockade? if so that was really quick.
No. This is Cuba’s own crude oil. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11446856
Cuba has oil but they were unable to refine it due to its extra heavy characteristics. Now, that has changed according to this news.
that somehow makes it more impressive, cubans are an inspiration.
No, it’s more likely their own oil + Mexican. The oil in this region is famously very heavy and difficult to refine, well at least that’s what i’ve been told in Mexico. It’s always been the “go to” excuse as to why we send our oil to US refineries and buy the refined products instead of just processing it ourselves.
