behind only Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. I sensed the sarcasm.

VZ's oil is very heavy and dirty and needs special refineries, and VZ has had difficulty keeping their heavy-crude refineries operating. They could be exporting their sludge to China or Russia, which are expanding their heavy-crude refineries. Of course, the US has quite a number of heavy-crude refineries, perfect for VZ's oil.

It doesn't make sense that VZ would be importing crude oil, unless perhaps it's the very light crude that is easy to refine and closest to use by the consumer.

I wonder what type of crude was on this tanker? Or if there was any oil on it at all? Considering who is "in charge" in Washington, we won't get the truth of what's going on for a long while. Lying is what they are best at, and they suck at it.
