Following world war ii, the northeast had some decent infrastructure and terminals for crude oil as the fuel was used for shipping and wartime effort from northeast shipyards. After the war, england owed the US a significant amount of money for our supplies, materials and support in the war. Brent sea crude was plentiful, possessed by england and easily transported to the northeast us. Many homes in the northeast were ready to be upgraded from wood and coal to a better (at the time) fuel source. Win – win for everyone.
