About Frontier Oil Corp.

Frontier Oil Corporation, an independent energy company, engages in refining crude oil and the wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products. The company operates refineries (the Refineries) in Cheyenne, Wyoming and El Dorado, Kansas with a total annual average crude oil capacity of approximately 187,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Cheyenne Refinery

Cheyenne Refinery has a permitted crude oil capacity of 52,000 bpd on a twelve-month average. The company markets its refined products primarily in the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain region, which encompasses eastern Colorado (including the Denver metropolitan area), eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska (the ‘Eastern Slope’). The Cheyenne Refinery has a coking unit, which allows the refinery to process heavy crude oil for use as a feedstock when economical.

El Dorado Refinery

The El Dorado Refinery is main refinery in the Plains States and the Rocky Mountain region with crude oil capacity of 135,000 bpd. The El Dorado Refinery can select from different types of crude oil because of its direct access to Cushing, Oklahoma, which is connected by pipelines to west Texas, the Gulf Coast, and to Canada. The company has a refined product offtake agreement for gasoline and diesel production at this Refinery with Shell Oil Products US (Shell). It markets gasoline and diesel in the same markets where Shell sells the El Dorado Refinery’s products, primarily in Denver and throughout the Plains States.

Other Assets

The company owns Ethanol Management Company (EMC) which is a 25,000 bpd products terminal and blending facility located near Denver, Colorado. It also purchased in December 2009 a refined products pipeline which runs from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Sidney, Nebraska and the associated refined products terminal and truck rack at Sidney, Nebraska.

Markets

Cheyenne Refinery: The primary market for the Cheyenne Refinery’s refined products is the Eastern Slope. As of December 31, 2009, the company sold approximately 75% of the Cheyenne Refinery’s gasoline volumes in Colorado and 20% in Wyoming. As of December 31, 2009, the company sold approximately 71% of the Cheyenne Refinery’s diesel in Wyoming and 18% in Colorado. Pipeline shipments from the Cheyenne Refinery are handled mainly by the Plains All American Pipeline (formerly Rocky Mountain Pipeline), serving Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the Frontier Pipeline (formerly the ConocoPhillips Pipeline), serving Sidney, Nebraska. The company sells refined products from Cheyenne Refinery to a base of independent retailers, jobbers and major oil companies.

El Dorado Refinery: The primary markets for the El Dorado Refinery’s refined products are Colorado and the Plains States, which include the Kansas City metropolitan area. The NuStar Pipeline Operating Partnership L.P. Pipeline, serving the northern Plains States, the Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P. (Magellan) mountain pipeline serving Denver, Colorado, and the Magellan mid-continent pipeline serving the Plains States handle shipments from El Dorado Refinery. As of December 31, 2009, Shell was the El Dorado Refinery’s major customer.

Competition

Cheyenne Refinery: Other than the Cheyenne Refinery, three principal refineries serve the Denver market: an approximate 70,000 bpd refinery near Rawlins, Wyoming and an approximate 25,000 bpd refinery in Casper, Wyoming, both owned by Sinclair Oil Company; and a 90,000 bpd refinery located in Denver and owned by Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc.

El Dorado Refinery: The Plains States and mid-continent regions are supplied by three product pipelines (Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., Explorer Pipeline and Nustar Energy L.P.) that originate from the Gulf Coast.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
