HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE: HFC) (“HollyFrontier”) announced
that its subsidiary’s Woods Cross refinery located in West Bountiful,
Utah is running at reduced rates due to a crude unit fire that occurred
on March 12, 2018. There were no reported injuries as a result of the
fire; however, the refinery’s ability to receive crude oil deliveries
has been affected.
HollyFrontier is in the process of determining the scope of the damage
resulting from the fire, the extent to which it will affect or delay
crude oil deliveries and the steps necessary to repair the damage. At
this time, HollyFrontier does not anticipate the event having any
material impact to its first quarter consolidated crude throughput
guidance.
