Alon USA Partners, LP (NYSE: ALDW) ("Alon Partners") today announces that the planned turnaround at the Big Spring refinery that was originally scheduled for the first quarter of 2014 has been postponed until the second quarter of 2014.

The delay allows Alon Partners to better integrate the implementation of the vacuum tower project with the turnaround, reducing the down time required to complete the work while also reducing costs. The previously discussed vacuum tower project will increase the ability of the refinery to handle lighter shale crude oils, while also increasing the refinery's distillate production by an estimated 2,000 barrels per day and improving energy efficiency. As a result of the postponement, throughput at the Big Spring Refinery for the first quarter of 2014 is currently expected to average 73,000 barrels per day.
