Alon USA Partners, LP (ALDW)

[catdaddyrt]

ALDW also services the West Texas drilling rig industry with red diesel and we are seeing an uptick here. As rigs go up fuel sales will escalate right with them. I don't expect a boom type situation but hopefully a slow steady rise into 60-65bbl range.This would create a nice, manageable market for all involved.Not sure on the 7-11s but I have noticed one chain of stores has changed from ALON to SUNOCO with the nearest refinery being being 300 miles away. This is a very strange change unless there is now part ownership in said stores and there very well could be.SUNOCO is owned by Energy Transfer Partners-was anyway.

Since 2012, Sunoco has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, based in Dallas, Texas.

My only concern is losing these commercial site to sell fuel to.I did notice this visually at a lot of the stores that were all ALON.This can be overshadowed with increase in drilling.
