Permian Basin Activity Overview 1  Big Spring sources substantially all of its crude oil locally from the Permian Basin

 The Permian Basin is experiencing a drilling and production renaissance, with 482 active drilling rigs

 According to the EIA, oil production in the Permian Basin increased to 1.0 million bpd in December 2011 and is expected to increase to 1.55 million bpd by January 2014

 Lack of logistics infrastructure limits crude oil transport to the Gulf Coast, creating attractive opportunities for Big Spring Active to purchase at a significant Drilling Rigs discount Existing pipelines Proposed/under construction

Ceased operations in California for interim period while reconfiguring current crude mix – Currently Bakken is trading at parity to WTI and while Buena Vista is trading at $16.50/bbl. higher than WTI  Short-term – Plan in place to change crude mix by accessing price advantaged mid-continent light crudes from places such as the Bakken shale via rail  Lighter crude slate will allow California to fully utilize its high Refinery Product Yield distillate production capability of ~44% (vs. 34% currently) and reduce lower value heavy product yields such as Asphalt  Longer-term – Expected to benefit from significant increase in light/sweet Monterey Shale oil production over the next few years  The EIA estimates the Monterey Shale has 20 billion barrels of recoverable resources representing 64% of the total recoverable shale oil resource in the U.S. lower 48 states 1 California Refining include the Bakersfield, Long Beach and Paramount refineries with a nameplate 16 capacity of 90,000 bpd and a current configuration capacity of 57,000 bpd - 16 - California Refineries Crude Slate

 The California Refineries run medium and heavy sour crudes, which have historically traded at a discount to WTI, providing the California Refineries with a crude cost advantage

 Alon plans to utilize an existing rail line to deliver light sweet inland crudes like Bakken, Niobrara etc. to the California complex which will provide cheaper feedstock benefits, improved light product yields and reduce low-margin asphalt production

 Well positioned to take advantage of expected Monterey Oil Shale production in Kern County
