In 2012, Par Pacific Holdings began with a vision to bring together decades-long histories of established energy businesses: Wyoming Refining Company, US Oil, Par Montana, and Par Hawaii. The founders recognized that traditional energy companies were overlooking complex markets where local communities needed reliable, dedicated fuel providers. They saw an opportunity to combine deep industry experience with financial acumen to serve these logistically-challenged markets that larger competitors often neglected.
Today, Par Pacific owns and operates one of the largest energy networks in Hawaii, with additional refining and logistics assets across the Pacific Northwest and Rockies. The company operates four refineries with 219,000 barrels per day of combined capacity, owns 549 miles of pipeline and 13 million barrels of storage, and runs retail brands including Hele, 76, and nomnom. Under the leadership of CEO William Monteleone, Par Pacific continues to pursue operational excellence while expanding into renewable fuels and maintaining a commitment to the communities they serve.
