Refineries & Business Units


Cheyenne Refinery



The Cheyenne Refinery is located in Cheyenne, Wyoming and has a crude oil capacity of 52,000 barrels per day. Crude oil is purchased from local producers and is also imported via the Express Pipeline from Canada. Cheyenne's refined products are marketed primarily in the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain region, which includes eastern Colorado (including the Denver metropolitan area), eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska (the Eastern Slope).


El Dorado Refinery



The El Dorado Refinery is located in El Dorado, Kansas and is one of the largest refineries in the plains states and the Rocky Mountain region with a crude oil capacity of 135,000 barrels per day. The El Dorado Refinery can select from many different types of crude oil because of its direct access to the Cushing, Oklahoma hub, which is connected by pipelines to the Gulf Coast and to Canada. This access, combined with the El Dorado Refinery's complexity, gives it the flexibility to refine a wide variety of crude oils. El Dorado's refined products are marketed primarily in the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain region, which includes eastern Colorado (including the Denver metropolitan area), eastern Wyoming and the plains states.


Navajo Refinery



The Navajo Refinery is located in Artesia, New Mexico and has a crude oil capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. The Navajo Refinery can process heavy, sour and light, sweet crude oils and runs a predominant slate of Permian Basin crudes that are gathered in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. The refinery can also source a variety of crude oils from Cushing, Oklahoma including Canadian crudes. The Navajo refinery serves markets in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.


Tulsa Refinery



The Tulsa Refinery is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has a crude oil capacity of 125,000 barrels per day. The Tulsa Refinery primarily processes sweet crude oils; however, it has the capability to process sour crude oils when economics dictate, and serves the markets in the mid-continent region of the United States.


Woods Cross Refinery



The Woods Cross Refinery is located north of Salt Lake City, Utah and has a crude oil capacity of 31,000 barrels per day. The Woods Cross Refinery is a high conversion refinery that has advantaged access to regional sweet and black wax crudes as well as pipeline access to Canadian crude oils. Woods Cross refined products are marketed primarily in Utah, Idaho, Nevada,Wyoming, and eastern Washington.


Lubricants & Specialty Products

Our lubricants and specialty products are marketed by HollyFrontier Refining & Marketing LLC and include lubricants, basestocks, specialty process oils and waxes. Most of the lubricant and wax production is manufactured at the Tulsa Refinery. The lubricants group distributes through nine terminals in Fremont, California; Allerton, Georgia; Lexington, North Carolina; Houston, Texas; New Orleans, LA; Cleveland, Ohio; York, Pennsylvania and North Haven, Connecticut. The principal products marketed by the lubricants group consist of lubricating oils (base, blended and process oils), waxes, horticultural oils and asphalt modifiers.

Specialty Products

Approximately 10% of the Tulsa Refinery production consists of lubricants and specialty products which are categorized and explained below. Each of these products can be custom blended in tank car-size quantities in order to satisfy customer requirements.

Basestocks

These solvent neutral ("SN") paraffinic products are specifically manufactured as base stocks or blending components in the manufacture of finished lube products. Typically these products are shipped to blender-compounders who prepare the finished product that is sold to end-users. Applications include passenger and commercial vehicle engine oils, specialty products for metalworking or heat transfer applications and other industrial applications.

Process oils

Some of the process oils produced at the Tulsa plant are designed for the rubber and chemical industry and are extracted from the refinery's Lube Extraction Unit (LEU) where enhanced chemical properties and low volatility is desirable. These highly refined oils are custom tailored for use in a wide variety of commercial applications including adhesives, coatings, and defoamers.

Waxes

Soft and semi-finished waxes are used in the manufacturing of more flexible packaging, waterproofing corrugated board, emulsions, extrusion processing, candles, rubber, adhesives, gaskets and fire logs. The waxes are removed from oil by solvent crystallization and filtration and are de-oiled to produce a range of products differentiated by melting points.

Horticultural Oils

These highly refined process oils are used in horticultural sprays that can be applied as either a pesticide or herbicide carrier. The pesticide spray oils are paraffinic oils specifically designed to meet growers' requirements for an extremely effective pesticide with low toxicity. The herbicidal oils are used in conjunction with other herbicides as an adjuvant. As carriers, these oils form a better spray pattern than herbicides used alone and improve penetration, dispersion, and anti-evaporative action for improved post-emergent weed control.

Asphalt Modifiers

The plant produces numerous hydrolene asphalt modifiers to accommodate the complete spectrum of asphalt applications and performance requirements. Hydrolene is available in both aromatic and paraffinic formulations, offering various viscosity and volatility characteristics for specific customer applications. Product applications include improving compatibility with polymer modified asphalts in the paving and roofing industry.


Asphalt & Heavy Products



Our subsidiaries manufacture and market a variety of heavy products including performance-grade (PG) asphalt, fuel oil, vacuum tower bottoms, carbon black oil (slurry), roofing flux and zero pen asphalt (pitch). We market these products to highway contractors, government agencies, construction material suppliers, asphalt maintenance companies and other wholesale customers from the refinery loading racks. We also have asphalt terminals located in Artesia and Albuquerque, New Mexico and Glendale, Arizona, where we market PG asphalts, modified asphalts and commodity and modified emulsion products to a variety of customers and government agencies.
