Whatever they can produce at this point is, for the time being, their capacity. Same goes for Iraq. I don't think we are going to be importing refined fuel from Iran, given the situation. I don't think we can force Russia to start refining more.
Where is the excess capacity, sebby? Some refineries not producing what they once did because they are broken doesn't translate to excess capacity -- it translates to inability to produce. I am super-duper positive that the oil companies are trying to get everything online that they can.
ETA at some point in the past, I posted about the refining capacities, making some point to someone. So I think this discussion, like so many others, has been settled before. And I was right, I think. So nyah.
