East Coast Refining Reconfiguration
On December 31, 2020, the Company reconfigured the Delaware and Paulsboro refineries (the “East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”) temporarily idling certain of its major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit referred to as the “East Coast Refining System”. The reconfiguration process resulted in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs. The Company abandoned certain projects related to assets under construction related to these idled assets, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $11.9 million and a corresponding decrease to its construction in progress account in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Capital Project Abandonments
In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, it assessed its refinery wide slate of capital projects that were either in process or not yet placed into service as of December 31, 2020. Based on this assessment and the Company’s strategic plan to reduce capital expenditures, it decided to abandon various capital projects across the refinery system, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $79.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Sale of Hydrogen Plants

In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement which was followed by the execution of long-term supply agreements in August 2020. Refer to “Note 13 - Leases” for further information.
