That might actually be where the profits are.
From what I’ve read refining shut down in the pandemic and it’s difficult to restart once it’s down, same as drilling. So there was a bottleneck there.
And I think a lot of oil companies also have integration in the refining process, so when there is a bottle neck they can charge a higher price there.

The whole concept and narration is hilarious.
