There are only around 800 refineries, world wide. At least two of those have already been destroyed in this sand people war.
You are the one without facts.
Some are small (like the Co-Op refinery in Saskatchewan) and some are massive (like all those Gulf Of America ones that Keystone XL was supposed to connect to) so in terms of capacity it's a very small fraction.
Also: literally no refinery operates at 100% capacity. Most run at about 60% afaik. The XL pipeline's flow wouldn't have required a single new refinery, they'd easily absorb the (iirc) 600,000 more barrels a day from Alberta's tarsands.
So those 800 were probably doing the work of 650, and losing 2 wouldn't change a thing. Except for that country or company, obviously! I mean in terms of global supply.
