No more difficult than anywhere else

The HOVENSA refinery had to be specially outfitted to handle the ultra-sulfurous Venezuelan crude.

I mean, deep sea refineries need to be outfitted with special deep sea shit. Mining oil is difficult everywhere, but Venezuela really fucked it up hard.

That is the mining aspect, but yes refining the Venezuelan oil is more costly than Saudi crude.
