My brother in Christ, they tried.

By God’s grace and Ukrainian tenacity, Putin failed. https://twitter.com/mobbs_mentality/status/2007560917215846599/photo/1

I fear this is a green light for Putin to kidnap Zelenskyy and China to do the same thing to Taiwan leadership. We could be entering a New World Disorder where China does whatever it wants in Asia, Russia does whatever it wants in Europe and the USA does whatever it wants to do in the Americas. The people in Venezuela may be freer. But the world is likely less safe. #Venezuela - Van Jones

I have news for you man…. They did and Cuban and Venezuelan Special Forces suck. Nowhere near western SOF in general and streaks below US SMUs. So yeah, they cut them down …..

NO US forces however special could slay 34 Special Cuban forces without sustaining casualties. This is simply an impossibility. Either Trump is lying about US casualties or the Cubans were slain in other circumstances #Cuba #Venezuela - George Galloway

RT @CRUDEOIL231: Given the SPR’s actual design specs and subsurface setup, the whole idea of refilling it with Venezuelan extra-heavy crude is a complete non-starter. The quality mismatch alone kills it on day one.

The SPR acceptance limits are spelled out black and white in DOE regs and CRS filings: "For the purposes of the SPR, sweet crude oils are defined as containing a maximum of 0.50 mass percent total sulfur, while sour crude oils can contain up to a maximum of 1.99 mass percent total sulfur. For the most part, these are of light gravity (30 to 40° API)..."

https://www.spr.doe.gov/reports/Crude_Oil_Assays.html
https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R46355.html

So SPR sour intake is capped at 1.99% sulfur, requiring a 30–36° API window(medium Sour).

Meanwhile core Venezuelan grades like Merey(16° API, 3.4% S) and Boscan(10.5° API, 4.8% S) are extra-heavy sours that completely blow past those thresholds.

Beyond basic assay specs, the real structural bottleneck is subsurface storage. The SPR isn’t parked in above-ground steel tanks; it sits in Gulf Coast salt caverns across TX and LA.

The SPR has to dump 1mb/d+ on command via high-pressure brine displacement—injecting water/brine to float crude to the surface on density differentials.

Venezuelan heavy sour at ambient temperature flows like cold molasses or peanut butter. Cavern geothermal gradients aren't nearly hot enough to drop the viscosity. Pump that stuff downhole, and you risk seizing the entire cavern during a critical drawdown.

Worse, the heavy asphaltene dropout over long-term storage would drop a massive layer of bottom sludge. Mix that with displacement brine, and you get nasty downhole emulsion, risking cavern integrity and permanently wrecking the wellbores.

Look, everyone knows Venezuelan barrels are prime, high margin feedstock for complex USGC cokers, and it makes for great political rhetoric for Trump.

But refinery complexity is not drawdown logistics. Without dropping billions on cavern heating infrastructure or totally redesigning the manifold systems, dumping Venezuelan extra-heavy into SPR caverns is physically impossible.
