摘要

"Valero refineries use Maya, but [it] also uses other grades of heavy crude. Valero purchases oil from all over the world," Day added. Day further said, "prices per barrel in the [US]$80s and $90s have spurred development of new wells." Some of these sources, according to Day, include Canada and the U.S. unconventional shale basins that are being hydraulically fractured to produce unconventional oil.
