Overview	Note 1—Overview Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Par" or the "Company") own, manage and maintain interests in energy and infrastructure businesses. Our strategy is to identify, acquire and operate energy and infrastructure companies with attractive competitive positions. Currently, we operate in three primary business segments: 1) Refining - Our refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii. Our refinery in Newcastle, Wyoming, produces gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, jet fuel and other associated refined products that are primarily marketed in Wyoming and South Dakota. 2) Retail - Our retail outlets sell gasoline, diesel and retail merchandise throughout the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai. Our retail network includes Hele, Tesoro and "76" branded retail sites, cardlock stations, company-operated convenience stores, sites operated in cooperation with 7-Eleven and other sites operated by third parties. 3) Logistics - We own and operate terminals, pipelines, a single-point mooring ("SPM") and trucking operations to distribute refined products throughout the island of Oahu as well as the neighboring islands of Maui, Hawaii, Molokai and Kauai. We own and operate a crude oil pipeline gathering system and related storage facilities in Wyoming and a refined products pipeline that transports product from our Wyoming refinery to a common carrier with access to Rapid City, South Dakota. Our Wyoming operations also include storage, loading racks and a rail siding at the refinery site. We also own and operate a jet fuel storage facility and pipeline that serve Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. We own a 42.3% equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC ("Laramie Energy"), a joint venture entity operated by Laramie Energy II, LLC ("Laramie") and focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado. In addition to the three operating segments described above, we have two reportable segments: (i) Texadian and (ii) Corporate and Other. Texadian focuses on sourcing, marketing, transporting and distributing crude oil and refined products in the U.S. and Canada. Corporate and Other includes administrative costs and several small non-operated oil and gas interests that were owned by our predecessor.
