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. 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 island of Oahu as well as the neighboring islands of Maui, Hawaii and Kauai. Our retail network includes "Hele," Tesoro and "76" branded retail sites, unmanned cardlock stations, company-operated convenience stores, sites operated in cooperation with 7-Eleven and other sites operated by third parties. We recently completed the rebranding of 30 out of 97 gas stations in Hawaii to "Hele," a new proprietary brand. 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 the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. We also own a 42.3% equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC ("Laramie Energy"). Laramie Energy develops and produces primarily natural gas, with operations and assets concentrated in the Piceance and Mancos Basins in Western Colorado. In addition to the three operating segments described above, we have two additional reportable segments: (i) Texadian and (ii) Corporate and Other. Texadian focuses on sourcing, marketing, transporting and distributing crude oil and refined products in the United States ("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.
