What are the Oil compnies hiding

The big oil companies are testifying in congress, that they are not making real profits. They want us to believe that they have "future" expenses to cover with this new windfall of 100 BILLION dollars. They also want to keep the tax credits of 18 BILLION as well as have access to protected areas to explore for more oil.
Maybe we are not asking the right questions. Like how come there have been no new refineries built in the last 20 years? Why are the current refineries only working at less than 99%? Why do they only produce certain types of fuel on certain days of the week? Why are supplies increasing and not being utilized?
Just once would I like to see our congressmen and senators thinking like you and me, instead of like a politician that is trying to protect his job.
