"Sinclair has been a great partner of ours. They are for the community very close. They have invested a lot of money here and pay higher wages."
An ambitious expansion can for American oil producer these days, given the scientific consensus on climate change of human origin and the need to reduce the consumption of carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuels seem questionable. But an environmentalist leader said Sinclair plans a model postponement of action on greenhouse gases correspond.
"I would think that we move urgently and aggressively to deal with this emerging crisis," said Matt Pacenza, director of advocacy group Environmental Utah HEAL.
"But pragmatically speaking, we are moving so fast," Pacenza, adding that the US gasoline demand continued to grow, especially in the West, said.
"And in this regard," he said, "that's like Sinclair may be an appropriate business decision for a company, albeit painful."
Sinclair made its debut in 1916 when Harry Sinclair Oklahoma business assets of 11 smaller oil companies consolidated.
Sinclair Oil quickly flourished. End 1920 80.000 bopd from its refineries, large retailers occurred in 900 miles of pipeline.

While the case went for his role in prison, as Harry Sinclair has shown never to give a bribe, even though it has spent time in jail for contempt of court after the prosecution sentenced that it had hired private detectives to follow the jury.
This little episode career slowed Sinclair. the head of the company in 1949 remained until his retirement.
Twenty years later, Sinclair Oil has gone through a major transition, when it was purchased by Atlantic Richfield Co. (ARCO).
To avoid antitrust objections assets west of the Mississippi River Sinclair the Justice Department have sold to a company called PASCO Inc. 1976 bought Keep Pasco.
"It was very difficult for someone an oil mainly in the refining and marketing involved to buy, Sinclair was time," said the lieutenant. "Shortly after the Arab oil embargo and was the timing of crude oil prices."
Keep a as "dominant and visionary leader," Ensign Sinclair said despite many challenges expands, as the deregulation of the 1980s the obligation cause gas to remove, lowering the benzene and sulfur in gasoline and commands detergents and other add additives.
"Having a number of functions have been made changed much cleaner gas," said Stern, "and did not keep up with the changes in the vehicle [engines]."
As refiners and distributors Sinclair delivers gasoline and other petroleum products to major surgery Utah as Rio Tinto and Kennecott Hill Air Force Base and gas stations.
Some carry the Sinclair brand, but even more by other names, such as oil holidays.
"I like Sinclair, as they leave to steal my name. Most [oil] companies will not allow," owner Jerry vacations oil Wagstaff, two dozen stations said gas uptake exclusively Sinclair.
"It was a motivation Sinclair. I just wanted to sell gas to" Wagstaff, who said the Holdings had known from his youth. "I remember my holidays petrol stations, and could buy their gas. Everyone was happy."
While most of the 1,200 active employees from its headquarters at 550 E. South Temple live company monitors exploration and production and the transportation systems and pipelines in Wyoming Sinclair oil refineries and equipment.
Barrett stressed the UNEV pipeline as an example of how Sinclair engine speeds and quality of economic life in Utah. Sinclair has the minority in the 400-mile pipeline, the oil products finished moving in Woods Cross in Las Vegas.
"Whenever finished products there are in the pipeline, have truck traffic on the roads, so there are safety benefits to the environment and, potentially," said the head of the energy of the state. "Advantages of you can not find on our local infrastructure, too. Many people, however, these investments important for the state."
People are more and more of Dino see, however, that Sinclair expansion suppressed.
The company has purchased an oil terminal in Boise Treasury, Ensign said, his exploration and production work is in the Bakken oil field in North Dakota.
"The West is growing. We have seen a demand for gasoline and diesel fuel in the coming decades," he added. "When the opportunity arises, in the sense that we are ready to grow."
