600 MILLION barrels worth stored in the salt caves.

Heavy crude is what is used in industrial applications. #2 bunker oil is the thickest. (So thick it usually has to be warmed before it will flow) It's used in most ship's boilers and in industrial applications.

Brent crude is a much lighter oil and is usually used to make various fuels, etc. used in transportation applications.

ALL oil can be cracked/distilled to make fuels. But the grade of the oil determines the amount of fuel (Gas, Diesel, Kerosene, JP2, JP4, JP5, etc.)
that you can get out of each barrel.

Thank you for making the decision that we can afford to use some of it to pay for an Infrastructure bill. I'm sure our soldiers. sailors and airmen that might have to depend on that oil for fuel for their war machines are much relieved to know that it's ok with you to sell it off.
