Husky Energy has completed its previously announced $435m acquisition of the Superior Refinery in Superior, Wisconsin, US.
The development comes after the company signed an agreement in August this year to acquire the 50,000 barrel per day refinery from Calumet Specialty Products Partners.
The acquisition will allow Husky to enhance its downstream crude processing capacity, consistent with its plan to grow production.
The refinery is set to increase Husky’s total downstream capacity by around 395,000 barrels per day.
At the time of signing the agreement, Husky Energy CEO Rob Peabody said: “Acquiring the Superior Refinery will increase Husky’s downstream crude processing capacity, keeping value-added processing in lockstep with our growing production.
“Upon closing, this new asset will immediately contribute to increased earnings and funds from operations.”
