The oil refinery in Superior, Wisconsin, which processes 50,000 barrels of oil a day, was acquired by Husky Energy from Calumet Specialty Products Partners in November 2017 for $492 million, retaining 180 Calumet employees

On April 26, 2018, an explosion and subsequent fire occurred at the Husky Energy Oil Refinery in Superior, Wisconsin. An initial explosion was reported at 10:00 AM and was extinguished close to noon, however a piece of debris had hit a storage tank containing asphalt, which ignited after spilling across the refinery,

Cenovus Energy has closed on its $4.78 billion deal to buy Calgary-based Husky Energy, the company that owns and operates Wisconsin's only oil refinery.

- great in-depth video - I really like the explanations for the critical safety process FLAWS that resulted in the pipe explosions/piercing asphalt tank/fire sequence - UNBELIEVABLE that there probably was NEVER an OPERATORS AUDIT of the transient protocols in the entire life of the FCC {NO steam flushing during shutdown} - some nice animation z173
