1. History of Tosco Corporation – FundingUniverse
by David Lincoln
Template Tosco was founded in 1955 under the name Oil Shale Corporation. The company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, but made its headquarters in the Los Angeles area. The project won some early support from the U.S. government, but interest from other sources was meager and the initiative soon died out.
in 1965 when it joined West Coast oil giant Atlantic Richfield in forming the Colony Shale Oil Project.. It sold part of its interest in Colony Shale Oil to Atlantic Richfield for $8 million, staggered some observers in the investment community by leveraging itself to the hilt, and then went on a buying spree. In 1970 it acquired the Signal Oil & Gas refinery in Bakersfield, California, for $22.5 million. In 1976 it acquired $222 million of Phillips Petroleum's West Coast property, including the giant Avon Refinery in Concord, California. These moves gave the company a refining capacity of more than 200,000 barrels per day, making it the third-largest independent refiner in the United States and the largest supplier of gasoline to independent marketers on the West Coast. Morton Winston, a lawyer who became a full-time executive with the company in 1964, was named president in 1971 . Morton Winston was an anomaly in an industry in which most top managers had backgrounds in geology, engineering, or finance. As a graduate student in the early 1950s, he aspired to become a literary scholar and chairman of a college English department. Later, after a stint in the Coast Guard, he entered Harvard Law School. After graduating from Harvard in 1958, Winston spent a year clerking for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, then joined a New York law firm that specialized in advising small, entrepreneurial companies. He made his first contacts with Oil Shale Corporation in 1961 and joined the company shortly thereafter.
As chief executive officer of Tosco, Winston made no effort to hide his unusual background in the humanities. He composed poetry in his spare time and encouraged his executives to memorize Bartlett's Quotations. Associates said that he conducted meetings not unlike a soft-spoken college professor conducting a class. But all the points that Winston earned on style would have gone for naught if the company had not fared well during his tenure. Despite his admission that Tosco had moved into the refining business rather later than it should have, the company nonetheless showed a tenfold increase in earnings between 1975 and 1980.
In 1980 the Atlantic Richfield Company sold its 60 percent share in Colony to Exxon Corporation for $300 million. Construction began at last on a processing plant that was scheduled to be completed in 1986 or 1987. Questions about the plant, however, soon presented themselves. Rising capital costs (from 1980 to 1982, Exxon and Tosco spent $400 million between them on Colony) and a levelling off in the price of crude oil raised doubts about the economic feasibility of the project.
For its part, Tosco received $380 million worth of compensation from Exxon for its share of Colony. The initial agreement between the two companies had stipulated that Exxon would have to buy out its stake in the venture if it ever pulled out, and Tosco exercised that clause in the contract.
This attempt to recover from the Colony disaster was insufficient to forestall a major reorganization. With Tosco reeling from a first quarter loss of nearly $77 million and still saddled with more than $700 million in bank debt, Morton Winston stepped down as CEO in June 1983 and was replaced by Matthew Talbot. One of Talbot's first acts was to announce the layoffs of 15 top executives and the consolidation of Tosco's seven divisions into two.
The reorganization did little to ease Tosco's difficulties. Sagging crude oil and gasoline prices made things difficult for a company that suddenly found refining to be its sole source of support. Tosco lost over $677 million between 1983 and 1986, and, after buying out dissident shareholders inspired by Good, found itself so deeply in debt that its creditors decreed that it should hire investment banker Bear Stearns to help arrange a takeover. There were, however, no takers. The company's stock fell to $2.75 per share, down from its high of $45 in 1980. Feeling that a change of leadership was necessary, Tosco's directors forced Talbot to resign in June of 1986 and replaced him two months later with company chairman Clarence Frame. In the meantime, Tosco sold its Bakersfield refinery to Texaco for $22 million.
The next year 1988, Argus Energy, a Connecticut-based investment partnership, announced that it had acquired a 40-percent interest in Tosco. In 1989 the company acquired Seminole Fertilizer, but this did not stop the widespread takeover speculation and uncertainty over Tosco's status. Later that year, Argus Energy head man Thomas O'Malley, by now a Tosco director, succeeded Clarence Frame as chief executive officer.
One of the company's first actions under O'Malley was to announce that it was entertaining takeover bids. Tosco claimed that at least three multinational corporations made offers, but refused to announce the identity of the suitors. Informed speculation had it that one suitor was British Petroleum, which was said to be interested in establishing a presence on the West Coast through Tosco's Avon refinery. Neither party ever confirmed that this was so, however.
Tosco declared in 1991 that none of the offers it had received were satisfactory, and that it would remain independent. The company then declared that it would consolidate operations and cut administrative costs by closing down its headquarters in Santa Monica, California. Initially, Tosco declared that it would find a headquarters site in northern California, closer to the Avon refinery. But it ultimately wound up moving to Stamford, Connecticut, the home of Argus Energy.
Indeed, the move may have signalled that Tosco intended to shift geographical direction and develop a presence on the East Coast as significant as its presence on the West Coast. In December 1992 the company acquired Exxon's Bayway refinery[BUILT IN 1909], located in Linden, New Jersey, for $175 million. The acquisition made it the second-largest independent refiner in the United States.

COLONY OIL SHALE PROJECT
Over time the project was developed by a consortium of different companies until it was terminated by Exxon on 2 May 1982 a day which is known amongst locals as "Black Sunday".[1]
In 1969 Atlantic Richfield Company joined the project acquiring part of Tosco's stake.[5]
In 1974 Ashland Oil and Shell Oil Company joined the project.[7][9] In the late 1970s Standard Oil of Ohio, Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company, Shell and Ashaland Oil sold their shares to Atlantic Richfield Company.[7][10][11] As a result of these transactions Tosco owned 40% of shares and Atlantic Richfield Company owned 60% of shares in the project.
In 1980 Atlantic Richfield Company sold its share to Exxon for $300 million.[6] In 1981 the Colony Development started a construction of the commercial scale shale oil plant.[3] On 2 May 1982 Exxon announced the termination of the project because of low oil-prices and increased expenses laying off more than 2,000 workers resulting in the date becoming known among locals as "Black Sunday".[1][2][3] According to the shareholders agreement in a case of project termination Exxon had an obligation to buy out Tosco's shares. It paid $380 million worth of compensation.[6]
During its existence the project produced 270 thousand barrels (43×103 m3) of shale oil.[4][ WORTH ABOUT 5.4 MILLION AT $20 barrel]
At the moment of cancellation the estimated costs would exceed $5.5 billion in then-year dollars or about $10 billion in 2005 dollars.[3]

Oil Shale Corporation in 1955. It was headquartered in Los Angeles. Over time, Oil Shale made some strategic alliances that allowed it to grow, including joining with Atlantic Richfield in 1965 and acquiring the Signal Oil and Gas refinery in Bakersfield in 1970
In the News
In February of 1999, Tosco's Martinez refinery was the site of an explosion in which four workers died. In November of that year, Tosco's Wilmington refinery was the site of a fire in a holding tank. No injuries were reported, and the blaze was contained.
Tiny particles of asbestos enter into the atmosphere, however, as asbestos-containing transite ages and becomes prone to crumbling. Asbestos when it is in this state is called friable, which is defined as easy to pulverize. In addition, industrial kilns often contained friable asbestos in insulation linings.
The Problem with Friable Asbestos
Asbestos fibers, when friable, can be readily dispersed into the environment. Medical conditions like asbestosis and cancer can result from the inhalation of asbestos. Another uncommon, and generally fatal, disease linked to asbestos is mesothelioma. The pleural variety of mesothelioma, one which affects the tissue that lies between the lungs and the pleural cavity, is the most common. When the airborne particles settle on food or drinks and are subsequently swallowed, pericardial or peritoneal mesothelioma can result, although they are less common than pleural mesothelioma.
Increased pressure from the press, medical scientists and citizen groups forced the creation of rules controlling how to use asbestos. The use of asbestos was more prevalent, however, when places like Tosco Corporation were built. Any asbestos that remains from then may still pose a health hazard if care is not taken during remodeling projects.
The Lurking Hazard of Asbestos
Asbestos-related diseases, unlike most work-related injuries, which are readily observed and known about soon after the incident, can take many, many years to develop. When a former employee starts showing symptoms such as breathlessness, pain in the chest or abdomen and chronic coughing, his or her physician might not immediately recognize asbestos exposure as a cause, leading to a delay in diagnosis. Men and women who were employed by or lived near oil refineries like Tosco Corporation's California facilities therefore should ask their doctors for mesothelioma information. Furthermore, spouses of these people are also in danger, as unless strict decontamination protocols, including the use of workplace-only clothing and on-site showers, were enforced, it was all too common for personnel to bring particles of asbestos on their skin, in their hair, or on their clothes. Mesothelioma surgery is available to some patients and can improve the quality of life.

Federal Investigation of Tosco Refinery Fire Finds Flawed Management Supervision
(Washington, DC - March 28, 2001) A fire at Tosco's Avon refinery in Martinez, California, could have been prevented by better management supervision of safety, according to the final report of the U.S. Chemical Safety & Hazard Investigation Board (CSB). The report culminates an exhaustive two-year investigation of the 1999 petroleum fire that claimed the lives of four workers. The Avon refinery was acquired by UDS Corporation last year.
According to Board Member Irv Rosenthal, "Better management of job planning and execution could have prevented this tragedy. Our investigation uncovered two root causes of the accident. First, Avon refinery management did not have an effective process for assessing the dangers of maintenance operations and implementing needed safeguards. Second, neither the parent Tosco Corporation nor the facility management had investigated or corrected a pattern of serious unsafe practices at the Avon refinery."
The incident occurred on February 23, 1999, two years after an explosion at the refinery killed one and injured 46 others. Management deficiencies were also a significant factor in that incident, according to a federal report.
The 1999 incident occurred as workers attempted to remove and replace a leaky petroleum pipe which was attached to an operating oil distillation tower, known as a fractionator. Over a 13-day period prior to the accident, workers had repeatedly tried to isolate and drain the pipe, but leaking and corroded shut-off valves hampered their efforts. At the time of the incident, the pipe still contained a significant volume of pressurized naphtha, a highly flammable petroleum mixture similar to gasoline. While workers were in the process of replacing the pipe, the naphtha was released and burst into flame, killing the four workers. At the time of the fire, workers were positioned on scaffolding up to a hundred feet off the ground and had limited means of escape

Company History:
Premcor Inc. is one of the United States' leading privately owned oil refiners. It operates four refineries, which primarily produce gasoline and diesel fuel. Its largest refinery is in Port Arthur, Texas, a historic facility that began operating in 1901 following the first discovery of oil in Texas. This facility produces jet fuel as well as diesel and gasoline and is one of the most technologically advanced refineries in the world. Premcor also owns a refinery in Lima, Ohio, which produces nearly a quarter of the gasoline bought in that state. Of its two Illinois refineries, one is located in Hartford, Illinois, just across the Mississippi from Premcor's St. Louis headquarters, and the other is in a suburb of Chicago, Blue Island. Combined capacity at Premcor's four refineries is 547,000 barrels per day. The company purchases crude oil for its refineries from petroleum producers worldwide. It has no oil production capacity itself. Premcor began as Clark Oil, a leading refiner and marketer of gasoline. It sold its product at thousands of Clark gas stations in the Midwest and bordering states. Premcor sold all of its retail business and the Clark brand name in 1999 and is no longer affiliated with Clark gas stations and stores. The company changed its name in 2000 to reflect its severance with Clark. Premcor is now owned by two major groups of shareholders. The largest stake is held by affiliates of the Blackstone Group, a New York City-based investment bank. The second largest stake is owned by Occidental Petroleum. Premcor operates four subsidiary companies. Port Arthur Coker Company L.P. and Port Arthur Finance Corp. are also affiliated with Occidental. Premcor's other major subsidiaries are Premcor USA Inc. and The Premcor Refining Group Inc.
In the mid-1990s, Clark began expanding through acquisition. The company purchased its Port Arthur, Texas refinery from Chevron in 1995, and then in 1998 bought a refinery in Lima, Ohio from BP Oil. The two acquisitions quadrupled the company's refining capacity. Meanwhile, ownership of the company changed. Horsham Corp. had changed its name to TrizecHahn. This company sold 80 percent of its stake in Clark to a New York-based investment company, the Blackstone Group. Occidental Petroleum acquired another large stake. Clark had been working on its retail marketing, selling off gas stations in some territories and trying to step up its presence in others through the late 1990s. In 1999, Clark Refining and Marketing announced that it would sell all of its retail operations, and remain only in the refining business. Clark's remaining 700 gas stations and 200 convenience stores were sold in December 1999, along with the Clark brand name. These were then operated by a company that took the name Clark Retail Enterprises Inc. Clark also sold its product distribution terminals in 1999. The company was pared down to running only its four refineries. It changed its name to Premcor in 2000, a name that was put together from 'premier' plus 'corporation.' Premcor stood as the fifth largest independent oil refiner in the United States, and the eleventh largest overall. The company planned to concentrate exclusively on its refinery business in the future, making significant investments in upgrading and expanding its existing facilities.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Premcor (formerly NYSE symbol PCO) was a Fortune 500 oil refinery group based in Greenwich, Connecticut. It operated five refineries, which are located in Port Arthur, Texas;Memphis, Tennessee; Lima, Ohio; Hartford, Illinois; and Delaware City, Delaware with a combined crude oil volume processing capacity of approximately 768,120 barrels per day (122,121 m3/d) (July, 2007).
Premcor was acquired by Valero in 2005. Valero would later sell the Lima facility to Husky Energy in July 2007 and close the Delaware City refinery in November 2009.

11. Valero agrees to buy Premcor in $6.9 billion deal - Apr. 25, 2005
Apr 25, 2005 ... Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) confirmed that it agreed to acquire refiner Premcor Inc . (PCO) for about $6.9 billion in cash and stock.
Valero said it values the transaction at about $8 billion, including the assumption of about $1.8 billion of Premcor debt offset by about $800 million in cash.
After buying Premcor, Valero will be the largest refiner of crude oil in North America, surpassing Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM)
The Wall Street Journal reported that Premcor's chairman, Thomas D. O'Malley, plans to step down when the deal closes, as does Jefferson F. Allen, its chief executive, and the report said Premcor would have no seats on the Valero board.
Valero noted that "there will be no changes to Valero's senior management or board of directors." In the press release, O'Malley said "I intend to remain a long-term and large shareholder of the new Valero."

12. Valero to buy Premcor for $8 billion - MarketWatch
Apr 25, 2005 ... DALLAS (MarketWatch) -- Valero Energy Corp. announced Monday it would buy its smaller rival Premcor in an $8 billion deal that would make ...
"Valero is paying up for Premcor ... and the rest of the refiners win with a high benchmark valuation for refineries," said analyst Jay Saunders of Deutsche Bank in a note to clients.
Saunders pointed out that Valero is paying around $9 million per daily barrel for the assets compared with recent deals of $4 million. The purchase price underscores the need for refiners to add capacity without taking the risk of building a new facility, which is costly and viewed as potentially uneconomic. See more on capacity.
"The Valero acquisition of Premcor (is) considered a further indication that refinery capacity is tight," said Tim Evans, senior market analyst at IFR Markets, in a note to clients.
The purchase price "is pretty close to what it would cost them to build new refineries, although it does bring them into Valero's book faster than new construction could be accomplished. Valero is likely looking to the long run here."
On Wall Street after the news, shares of Premcor PCO, -0.73% soared 18%, or $10.70, to close at a 52-week high of $69.70.

Formerly known as the Clark-Blue Island Refinery, refining operations began at the site with the Great Lakes Refinery in the mid-1920s and continued until Premcor decided to close the refinery in 2001.
Due to the facility’s past history of petroleum releases in the two operating storage terminals (Areas 3 and 4) and Premcor’s pending renewal of their lease agreement with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) for part of the Southwest Terminal, the Illinois EPA and Premcor agreed that the Terminals were the highest priority for environmental investigation. Investigations continue but data collected to date confirm that releases of petroleum products have occurred to soils and groundwater in the still-active storage terminals.
Demolition and dismantling of refinery units is nearly complete in this area enabling better and safer access for the field sampling teams. The initial sampling phases of the more streamlined Site Investigations (SIs) of Areas 1 and 2 are nearing completion

Swiss oil refiner Petroplus has said it will file for insolvency proceedings after failing to agree with creditors to extend deadlines on loan repayments.
Shares in the company, which is Europe's largest independent oil refiner, were suspended on Monday.
Petroplus had its credit lines frozen by its lenders in December 2011.
Its credit rating was downgraded by Standard and Poor's earlier this month on fears of the company defaulting on its debt.
"We have worked hard to avoid this outcome, but were ultimately not able to come to an agreement with our lenders to resolve these issues given the very tight and difficult European credit and refining markets," said Petroplus chief executive Jean-Paul Vettier.
"We are fully aware of the impact that this will have on our workforce, their families and the communities where we have operated our businesses."

A New Jersey energy company will buy the Chalmette oil refinery for $322 million from ExxonMobil and its partner, the state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela, the companies said Thursday (June 18). The new owner plans to re-hire refinery employees, though it is not clear how the deal will affect some 500 contractors at the site.
PBF Energy Inc., based in Parsippany, N.J., and one of the largest independent oil refiners in North America, has agreed to purchase the 189,000-barrel-per-day refinery as well as interests in chemical facilities, pipelines and other assets at the site.
A statement released by PBF Energy did not detail how the purchase would impact the refinery's workforce, though it appears leadership intends to extend job offers to many current employees.
"We are committed to the continued safe and environmentally responsible operations of the facility and look forward to welcoming Chalmette's well-trained and professional workforce to the PBF family," CEO Tom Nimbley said.
About 530 ExxonMobil employees and 500 contractors work at the refinery, according to figures provided by ExxonMobil.
PBF spokesman Michael Karlovich said the company intends to extend offers to all ExxonMobil employees. He said PBF would review the level of contract work needed to support safe operations at the facility.
The sale comes as Venezuela's government seeks ways to cover growing debt as low oil prices erode state revenues and a recession looms.
ExxonMobil and Petroleos de Venezuela each own a 50 percent stake in the refinery.
Chalmette Refining, built in 1915 on the site of a former plantation, is one of the largest employers in St. Bernard Parish. ExxonMobil operates the plant, though about a third of the oil refined there is produced in Venezuela.
The deal is PBF Energy's first refinery purchase on the Gulf Coast, expanding its refining capacity by 35 percent to more than 725,000 barrels per day.
PBR Energy operates refineries in Delaware, New Jersey and Ohio.
If regulators approve the deal, the new owners are expected to take over the Chalmette refinery later this year

Cheap Oil and Progress on a Major Acquisition Gave PBF Energy's Stock a 19% Boost in November
With the financing available for the independent refiner to acquire another refinery from ExxonMobil, investors have been gobbling up PBF's shares.
What: Shares of PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF) climbed more than 19% in November. A large part of the stock's success last month came on the back of the company's ability to secure financing or the pending acquisition of ExxonMobil's (NYSE:XOM) Torrence refinery in California. It also helps that the market is extremely lucrative for refiners for the past several quarters.
So what: This has been a pretty transformative year for PBF Energy. With the pending acquisition of the Torrance refining complex and the recently completed acquisition of Chalmette Refining -- also a former Exxonmobil facility -- PBF has increased its total refining capacity by 60% to 900,000 barrels per day. These two deals also make it the fifth largest independent refiner in the United States.
PBF DATA BY YCHARTS
There were some questions whether PBF was going to be able to finance its Torrence deal attractively, especially since financing hasn't been easy to find lately for energy companies. On Nov. 17, the company announced that it had successfully priced $500 million worth of senior notes due in 2023 at 7%. It's not a great financing deal, but for a company of PBF's size and capital structure, it's a rate the company can live with.
