About Holly Energy Partners LP

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) is a US-listed company trading on the NYSE, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, United States. Historically organized as a master limited partnership (MLP), HEP focuses on energy midstream infrastructure, with a business model centered on transporting, storing, and handling petroleum products and crude oil. The company also provides terminalling and throughput services, along with certain refinery-related processing units. In practical terms, HEP is an infrastructure owner and operator rather than a commodity producer, so its earnings profile is typically more tied to throughput volumes, contract structure, and refinery utilization than to the outright direction of oil prices. HEP was formed in 2004 to consolidate and monetize logistics assets developed by its sponsor, then Holly Corporation, now part of HF Sinclair. That sponsor relationship has shaped the company’s asset base and geographic footprint. HEP operates primarily across the Western, Midwestern, and Southwestern United States, with assets in states including Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, Idaho, and Washington. Its headquarters are in Dallas, which places it close to a large part of its operating and commercial ecosystem. The company’s core business lines include refined products and crude pipelines, storage tanks, distribution terminals, loading rack facilities, and refinery processing units. Historically disclosed holdings and interests have included assets associated with UNEV Pipeline, Osage Pipeline, Frontier Pipeline, and SLC Pipeline, underscoring a diversified regional infrastructure platform. In the competitive landscape, HEP stands out because of its embedded relationship with HF Sinclair’s refining system and its dense network of assets serving key petroleum markets in the central and western US. That sponsor linkage has often provided commercial stability, while also concentrating HEP’s exposure to HF Sinclair-related volumes. A major recent development has been the broader corporate restructuring around HF Sinclair. In 2023, HEP was the subject of a proposed combination transaction with HF Sinclair, highlighting the strategic value of simplifying the structure and potentially integrating midstream assets more closely with the sponsor. For investors, HEP represents a US energy-infrastructure name with an income-oriented profile, a historically stable asset base, and sensitivity to regional demand, refinery operations, capital allocation discipline, and the evolving regulatory backdrop in the United States.
