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. Our primary business systems mostly consist of purchased and licensed software programs that integrate with our internal solutions. As of the filing date of this report, our risk monitoring process related to cybersecurity includes conducting periodic vulnerability assessments using a combination of internal and third-party capabilities to perform technical assessments, vulnerability scanning, and incident and event monitoring. We are working to: (i) identify and assess threats and (ii) establish a thorough, risk-based cybersecurity program, including the potential adoption of a formal cybersecurity policy if deemed necessary by the Board, aimed at safeguarding our data, along with the data of our customers and partners. We anticipate that such a program will follow well-organized cybersecurity frameworks and be managed by a central control figure with Board oversight. We did not experience a significant cybersecurity breach or associated expenses, penalties, or settlements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
