Holly Energy Partners LP (NYSE: HEP) on Aug. 10 said it had agreed to pay $250 million for interests in two pipelines in the western U.S. that will bolster forecast annual EBITDA by $23 million.

Frontier Aspen, a 289-mile crude pipeline that connects Casper, Wyo., to Frontier Station, Utah, supplies Canadian and Rocky Mountain crudes to Salt Lake City area refiners through a connection to the SLC Pipeline. The Salt Lake City Pipeline is a 95-mile line that transports oil into the Salt Lake City area from the Utah terminal of the Frontier Pipeline and from Wahsatch station.

The general partner of Holly Energy will waive its incentive distribution rights for three years following the closing on any new units issued in connection with the financing of the acquisitions.
