Sinclair Refinery announced the purchase of property along Southwest Boulevard, and may use some existing cinder block buildings and warehouses for the expanded operation.

They are also planning a major retool to come in compliance with tightened pollution laws and to increase capacity.  Refineries are expensive to build, own and operate... but pay contractors very well.

I know the Sunoco refinery has a retool coming up, but did not know that Sinclair refinery has one planned.

Do you have any more information on that?

I stand corrected.  Sunoco , not Sinclair.  

I need to make sure I keep those straight.

Wow! Duh! We hadn't heard that.  Got any more threads you can bump?

The plans are to build a pipeline connecting the two plants. That would allow them to operate as one large refinery.

I am pretty familiar with refinery operations because of serving on Sunoco's citizen advisory panel for over a decade. There are clear challenges meeting more and more stringent environmental regulations.

This seems to make a lot of sense. This would allow combining management and other issues like permitting. I imagine there could be some real cost savings to Holly.
