WASHINGTON — A handful of Texas congressional delegation members say they have an antidote for the anxiety low oil prices have inflicted on the Texas economy: repeal a 40-year ban on exporting U.S. crude oil to the international market.

After returning to the U.S. Capitol this fall, they say they are determined to move the legislation to President Obama's desk by Christmas.

But the nation’s capital is bracing for a frenetic fall. At best, Congress can expect an exhausting, four-month legislative slog through everything from Iran to abortion; at worst, the government could shut down. How such a charged atmosphere will affect the push for lifting the oil export ban is anyone's guess.

building the processing plants along the coast to do the exports of crude. Refined products and condensates can be exported. In the 1970s, the US banned exports because of the 70s Oil Crisis. They want to mix Canadian tar sand oil with condensates. That is one reason that they want the XL Keystone pipeline.

Natural-gas condensate is a low-density mixture of hydrocarbon liquids that are present as gaseous components in the raw natural gas produced from many natural gas fields. It condenses out of the raw gas if the temperature is reduced to below the hydrocarbon dew point temperature of the raw gas.

The natural gas condensate is also referred to as simply condensate, or gas condensate, or sometimes natural gasoline because it contains hydrocarbons within the gasoline boiling range. Raw natural gas may come from any one of three types of gas wells:[1][2]
