When the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed it was illegal to ship any of the oil from Alaska to other countries. Then during the Clinton Administration when oil was $8 a barrel, that law was changed. For 2 years Alyeska Pipeline Terminal shipped to Japan and South Korea a total of 5 times. They decided that this was not cost effective and now they no longer ship there. This was years ago. Now all the oil goes to refineries in Washington state, California and Hawaii. It provides most of the fuel in the Northwestern States. None of it leaves the country.

"Extra heavy crude oil" has a specific gravity greater than 1.0 and sinks to the bottom of water.
What is the difference between crude palm kernel oil and refined palm kernel oil?
Crude oil is the naturally occurring flammable liquid found deep down beneath the earth surface especially in rock deposits.
