		Oil History

Incorporated in 1947 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, HollyFrontier is principally an independent petroleum refiner, producing high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel as well as specialty lubricants. HollyFrontier, our parent company, owns and operates three refineries consisting of a petroleum refinery in Artesia, New Mexico, that is operated in conjunction with crude oil and vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively known as the "Navajo Refinery"), and a refinery in Woods Cross, Utah and a refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Navajo Refining Company, L.P., one of HollyFrontier's wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns the Navajo Refinery. With a crude capacity of 100,000 BPD, this refinery can process light sweet, sour (high sulfar) and heavy crude oils and serves markets in the southwestern U.S. In June 2003, HollyFrontier acquired the Woods Cross refining facility from ConocoPhillips. The Woods Cross Refinery, just north of Salt Lake City, has a crude capacity of 31,000 BPD and is operated by HollyFrontier Refining & Marketing Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier. In June 2009 HollyFrontier acquired an 85,000 BPD refinery from Sunoco located in Tulsa, Oklahoma that supplies the Mid Continent market with gasoline and diesel. The refinery also produces specialty lube, process oils and waxes which are distributed throughout North and South America. In December 2009, HollyFrontier acquired Sinclair Refining's Tulsa Oklahoma Refinery. HollyFrontier is operating these Tulsa facilities as one combined refinery with total crude capacity of 125,000 BPD.

Along with refining, HollyFrontier has sole rights for the Phillips gasoline brand until June 2012 for the states of Montana, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
