Thoughts?  Something to forward to Hunter Johnston maybe?   Or just drop it?

Instead of marketing it to the regional refiners they contacted us to see if we know some refineries in the US. Reason being margins may be better. Also, there is a possibility to negotiate a more consistent supply from the operator that could continually be sold to the refinery.

Thus, probably only works if it's a refinery contacts already exist with in order to be able to place a call or email to see if they want the cargo. Of course the refinery would be able to check and vet everything
