(10) Insurance Claims

  • Nitrogen Fertilizer Incident

        On September 30, 2010, the nitrogen fertilizer plant experienced an interruption in operations due to a rupture of a high-pressure UAN vessel. Total costs due to the incident were approximately $11.7 million for repairs and maintenance and other associated costs; approximately $0.3 million, $0.9 million, and $10.5 million of these costs were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which approximately $4.9 million were capitalized. The remaining amounts are included in direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).

        Approximately $8.0 million of insurance proceeds were received under the property damage insurance claim related to this incident. Approximately $1.0 million, $2.7 million and $4.3 million of these proceeds were received during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The recording of the insurance proceeds resulted in a reduction of direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) when received.

        Total proceeds received for insurance indemnity under the business interruption insurance policy related to the incident were approximately $3.4 million, which was reported in the year ended December 31, 2011. Business interruption insurance proceeds were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under Insurance recovery-business interruption.

        As of December 31, 2012, all property damage and business interruption claims had been fully settled with all claims closed.

  • Coffeyville Refinery Incidents

        On December 28, 2010 the Coffeyville crude oil refinery experienced an equipment malfunction and small fire in connection with its fluid catalytic cracking unit ("FCCU"), which led to reduced crude oil throughput. The refinery returned to full operations on January 26, 2011. This interruption adversely impacted the production of refined products for the petroleum business in the first quarter of 2011. Total gross repair and other costs recorded related to the incident as of December 31, 2011 were approximately $8.0 million. No costs were recorded in 2012.

        The Company maintains property damage insurance policies which have an associated deductible of $2.5 million. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had received $4.0 million in insurance proceeds. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had recorded an insurance receivable related to the incident of approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The insurance receivable is included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The recording of the insurance proceeds and receivable resulted in a reduction of direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).

        In February 2013, all insurance claims associated with the FCCU incident were fully settled and closed. Substantially all repair costs incurred in excess of the associated $2.5 million deductible were recovered by insurance.

        The Coffeyville crude oil refinery experienced a small fire at its continuous catalytic reformer ("CCR") in May 2011. Total gross repair and other costs related to the incident that were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 approximated $3.2 million. No costs were recorded in 2012. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the costs in excess of the $2.5 million deductible should be covered by insurance under its property damage insurance policy. Approximately $0.7 million of insurance proceeds were received for the year-ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had recorded an insurance receivable of approximately $0.7 million. The insurance receivable is included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The recording of the insurance receivable resulted in a reduction of direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).

        As of December 31, 2012, all insurance claims associated with the fire at the CCR have been fully settled and closed. Substantially all repair costs incurred in excess of the associated $2.5 million deductible were recovered by insurance.
