And I know you can't say because the dynamics of the oil industry are pretty confidential <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Correct me where I'm wrong as I'm only a layman:PSR-1 (Melaka 1) is a wholly owned Petronas refinery, and the sweet crude you refer to is Tapis crude. PSR-2 is a Conoco, Statoil JV with Petronas and produces mainly petroleum coke from Middle Eastern sour crude for export.There is rarely cradle to grave supply of petroleum, and the upstream and downstream activities of the oil industry in a particular country depend heavily on economics and politics. In Malaysia, Esso focuses on production, Shell on refining and retailing, the others on retailing only, and Petronas on all three. There are others in refining here such as Conoco, Elf and Qatar, but they're not in retailing (no licence)Last Qs:- What crude does Shell PD use?- Do Klang valley Esso, Mobil, Caltex and BHP get their base fuel supply from KVDT, ie piped up from Shell PD and Petronas Melaka 1, or do they get it from other new refineries, or trucked from Singapore?BTW, I believe V-Power is trucked from Singapore.</blockquote>
