Working to further increase volumes and reduce purchases of Cushing WTI. Transportation and product yield advantages from gathered crude oils typically $0.50 - $1.00 per bbl relative to Cushing WTI.

Reducing the carbon footprint of our operations and minimizing our exposure to Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) through production of renewable biofuels

Wynnewood renewable diesel unit (RDU) completed in April 2022 and ramping toward production capacity. Construction of Wynnewood pre-treatment unit (PTU) approved by the Board and expected to be completed by 3Q 2023. Engineering design underway on potential Coffeyville RDU project. Pursuing 45Q tax credits for carbon capture and sequestration activities at Coffeyville fertilizer facility.
