| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies We are a party to various litigation and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business that we believe, based on the advice of counsel, will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2025, the EPA granted and denied, in whole or in part, small refinery exemption petitions for our Woods Cross, Cheyenne, Casper and Parco refineries for various compliance years from 2019 to 2024. In October 2025, certain of our subsidiaries filed lawsuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “DC Circuit”) to overturn the EPA’s August 2025 denials and other actions (the “August 2025 cases”). In November 2025, the EPA granted in whole small refinery exemption petitions for our refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa East Refinery”) for compliance years 2023 and 2024 and partially granted exemptions to several other refining companies. In December 2025, the Renewable Fuels Association filed a lawsuit challenging those exemptions, and the proceedings were subsequently consolidated with the August 2025 cases (the “Consolidated Cases”). In January 2026, certain of our subsidiaries intervened in the Consolidated Cases to defend the EPA’s grant of our Tulsa East Refinery exemptions. The DC Circuit has entered a briefing schedule in the Consolidated Cases. Our opening brief was filed with the DC Circuit in July 2026, and the EPA’s response brief is due in November 2026. Separately, in March 2026, the DC Circuit heard oral arguments in two severed cases arising from the EPA’s August 2025 decisions, including one addressing the denial of our Parco refinery’s exemption petition for the 2024 compliance year. On April 7, 2026, the DC Circuit issued a unanimous decision in our favor, holding that the EPA erred in deeming the Parco refinery ineligible for an exemption from its Renewable Fuel Standard obligations for the 2024 compliance year. The DC Circuit vacated the EPA’s denial and remanded the matter to the EPA for a new decision on Parco refinery’s small refinery exemption petition. The DC Circuit issued its mandate on April 24, 2026. After the EPA failed to issue a new decision within 90 days of the mandate, we filed an emergency motion on July 24, 2026, seeking enforcement of the mandate or, alternatively, a writ of mandamus compelling the EPA to issue a new decision on our Parco refinery’s 2024 SRE petition. These matters remain pending, and we are unable to estimate the impact at this time.
