Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY We depend on information technology and systems for various operations (including refinery processes and refined product loading) and for capturing accounting, technical, and regulatory data for reporting, analysis, and archiving. These systems mostly consist of purchased and licensed software programs that integrate with our internal solutions. We completed an initial inventory of our critical assets, information assets, and data repositories to identify potential areas of exposure to cybersecurity threats, and we are developing a periodic assessment program. Until such a plan is implemented, we rely on ad-hoc assessments and monitoring of our information technology infrastructure. There can be no assurance that our current, ad-hoc assessments will detect all potential vulnerabilities in a timely manner, which could expose us to material risk. The Board oversees our risks, and risk management initiatives, including those related to cybersecurity risk are the responsibility of the entire Board. At the management level, our cybersecurity risk management activities are led by our chief executive officer. Management utilizes certain tools and controls to detect, monitor, prevent, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity threats to our systems, networks, applications, and data management. Management also recently implemented a program to conduct periodic phishing tests, which provide contemporaneous feedback and instruction to personnel and seeks to strengthen our defenses against cyber threats. We did not experience a significant cybersecurity breach or associated expenses, penalties, or settlements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
