Tesoro to close oil refinery in Hawaii, co-location site of Envergent project

In Hawaii, Tesoro announced that it will close its refining operations in Hawaii in April and the site will become a fuel terminal. Tesoro Hawaii will maintain the existing distribution system to support marketing operations and fulfill its supply commitments while continuing to offer the terminal, distribution and retail assets for sale. Upon conversion of the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal, Tesoro Hawaii believes third party utilization of the terminal and associated logistics will facilitate ongoing supplies of refined products.
