During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into loan agreements totaling $28.0 million as part of a plan to refinance approximately $8.5 million of debt owed to American First National Bank, purchase idle refinery equipment, and expand the Nixon Facility. As announced in June 2015, the Nixon Facility expansion project will encompass three phases that include: (i) constructing more than 500,000 bbls of petroleum storage tanks, (ii) redeploying idle refinery equipment, and (iii) obtaining an additional long-term loan that would be used to refinance a $3.0 million short-term note and construct an additional 300,000 bbls of petroleum storage tanks. Potential benefits of the Nixon Facility expansion plan include:

  • generation of additional revenue from leasing product and crude storage to third parties;
  • crude and product storage capable of supporting refinery throughput of up to 30,000 bbls per day;
  • production of a higher octane gasoline blendstock (reformate) by refurbishing the naphtha reformer;
  • production of ultra low sulfur diesel by refurbishing a light duty hydrotreater; and
  • an increase in the processing capacity and complexity of the Nixon Facility by deploying refurbished refinery equipment to the Nixon Facility, including, among others, a Merox unit, vacuum tower, prefrac tower unit, and LPG fractionator.
