OperationsTerminals

Our refined product terminals receive products from pipelines and Holly Corporation's Navajo and Woods Cross and Tulsa refineries, and Alon's Big Spring refinery, and distribute them to Holly Corporation’s, Alon's, and third parties’ customers, who in turn deliver them to end-users and retail outlets. Generally complementary to our pipeline assets, our terminals serve Holly Corporation's and Alon's marketing activities. Beyond distribution, terminals play a key role in moving product to the end-user market by providing blending (to achieve specified grades of gasoline); storage and inventory management; and other services such as additive injection and jet fuel filtering.

Typically, our refined product terminal facilities have multiple storage tanks and automated truck loading equipment. Operating 24 hours a day, these automated systems provide for control of security, allocations, and credit and carrier certification by remote input of customer data. Nearly all of our terminals are also equipped with loading racks providing automated blending and environmental vapor control equipment. In addition to terminal storage fees, we charge for blending, injecting additives, and filtering fuel.

Our refined product terminal and refinery onsite storage locations and capacities include:
  • four refined product terminals located in El Paso, Texas; Moriarty and Bloomfield, New Mexico; and Tucson, Arizona, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 1,000,000 barrels, that are integrated with our refined product pipeline system that serves Holly's Navajo Refinery;
  • three refined product terminals (two of which are 50% owned), located in Burley and Boise, Idaho and Spokane, Washington, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 500,000 barrels, that serve third-party common carrier pipelines;
  • one refined product terminal near Mountain Home, Idaho with a capacity of 120,000 barrels, that serves a nearby United States Air Force Base;
  • two refined product terminals, located in Wichita Falls, and Abilene, Texas, and one tank farm in Orla, Texas with aggregate capacity of 480,000 barrels, that are integrated with our refined product pipelines that serve Alon's Big Spring Refinery;
  • four refined product loading facilities, one located within Holly's Navajo Refinery that is permitted to load over 40,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of light refined products, one located within Holly's Woods Cross Refinery, that is permitted to load over 25,000 bpd of light refined products; and truck and rail loading/unloading facilities located at Holly's two Tulsa Refinery locations;
  • a Roswell, New Mexico jet fuel terminal leased through September 2011;
  • on-site crude oil tankage at Holly's Navajo and Woods Cross Refineries having an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 600,000 barrels.
