Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 7, 2011 and is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 15 - Noncontrolling Interests”). PBF Energy holds a 99.0% economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2018 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 1.0% economic interest in PBF LLC. The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC. PBF Investments LLC (“PBF Investments”), Toledo Refining Company LLC (“Toledo Refining” or “TRC”), Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“Paulsboro Refining” or “PRC”), Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“Delaware City Refining” or “DCR”), Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), PBF Western Region LLC (“PBF Western Region”), Torrance Refining Company LLC (“Torrance Refining”) and Torrance Logistics Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Discussions or areas of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that either apply only to PBF Energy or PBF LLC are clearly noted in such footnotes. At December 31, 2018 , PBF LLC also held a 44.0% limited partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a publicly-traded master limited partnership (“MLP”) (refer to “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP”). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) owns the noneconomic general partner interest and serves as the general partner of PBFX and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, consolidates the financial results of PBFX and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBFX’s unitholders other than PBF LLC (refer to “Note 15 - Noncontrolling Interests”). Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding, PBF GP and PBFX are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires. Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly-traded MLP that was formed to operate logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. The Logistics segment consists solely of PBFX’s operations. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors that are largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The resulting potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flow. Public Offerings In connection with certain of the secondary offerings completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013, investment funds associated with the initial investors in PBF LLC exchanged all of their PBF LLC Series A Units for an equal number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock which were subsequently sold to the public and, accordingly, no longer hold any PBF LLC Series A Units. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain current and former executive officers of PBF Energy, had the right to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by the investment funds associated with the initial investors in PBF LLC. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from any of the secondary offerings. The Company completed follow-on equity offerings that were made to the public as follows: • On October 13, 2015, PBF Energy completed a public offering of an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock, including 1,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock that was sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $344,000 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “October 2015 Equity Offering”). • On December 19, 2016, PBF Energy completed a public offering of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock for net proceeds of $274,300 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “December 2016 Equity Offering”). • On August 14, 2018, PBF Energy completed a public offering of an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock for net proceeds of $287,284 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “August 2018 Equity Offering”). As a result of the equity offerings described above and certain other transactions such as stock option exercises, as of December 31, 2018 , PBF Energy owned 119,895,422 PBF LLC Series C Units and the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially owned 1,206,325 PBF LLC Series A Units. As of December 31, 2018 , the holders of PBF Energy’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 99.0% of the voting power in the Company and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have the remaining 1.0% of the voting power in the Company. Tax Receivable Agreement PBF LLC intends to have an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) in effect for each taxable year in which an exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC at the time of an exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units. As a result of both the initial purchase of PBF LLC Series A Units from the PBF LLC Series A unitholders in connection with the IPO and subsequent exchanges, PBF Energy will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC. In addition, the purchase of PBF LLC Series A Units and subsequent exchanges have resulted in and are expected to continue to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC that otherwise would not have been available. Both this proportionate share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that PBF Energy would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation and Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PBF Energy and subsidiaries in which PBF Energy has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cost Classifications Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Reclassification Certain amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications include certain details about the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-07, further explained below, under Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business Combinations We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. Marketable Securities Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. The Company does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates. Some of the Company’s investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and is measured using Level 1 inputs (as defined below). The marketable securities were fully liquidated as of December 31, 2017 and the PBFX Term Loan (as defined in “Note 9 - Credit Facility and Debt”) that they collateralized was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2017. Concentrations of Credit Risk For the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 . Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recognized revenue from customers when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been rendered, (iii) the buyer’s price was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which the service was rendered or product delivered were recorded as deferred revenue. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, as defined below under “Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance”. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 18 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606. On May 4, 2017 and September 8, 2017, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the inventory intermediation agreements (as amended, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the terms. As a result of the amendments (i) the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC relating to the Paulsboro refinery extends the term to December 31, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2020 and (ii) the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR relating to the Delaware City refinery extends the term to July 1, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to July 1, 2020. Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the “Products”) produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the “Refineries”), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the Refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to the Refineries as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries’ tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily market prices related to those products. These transactions are considered to be made in contemplation of each other and, accordingly, do not result in the recognition of a sale when title passes from the refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the Products independently to third parties. Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, if required, to report such amounts at their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis. Inventory Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the preliminary, pre-acquisition and development/construction stages of a major construction project. The Company capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects based on the effective interest rate of total borrowings. The Company also capitalizes costs incurred in the acquisition and development of software for internal use, including the costs of software, materials, consultants and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in the application development stage. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Process units and equipment 5-25 years Pipeline and equipment 5-25 years Buildings 25 years Computers, furniture and fixtures 3-7 years Leasehold improvements 20 years Railcars 50 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs (generally 3 to 5 years). Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets as indicators of impairment develop. Deferred financing costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 years ). Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits, permits and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years ). Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value. Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Although management utilizes assumptions that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinery sites when it permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinable. Environmental Matters Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable. The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by the Company to certain employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur. Additionally, stock-based compensation includes unit-based compensation provided to certain officers, non-employee directors and seconded employees of PBFX’s general partner, PBF GP, or its affiliates, consisting of PBFX phantom units. The fair value of PBFX’s phantom units are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying common units on the date of grant based on the common unit closing price on the grant date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Awards vest over a four year service period. The phantom unit awards may be settled in common units, cash or a combination of both. Expenses related to unit-based compensation are also included in General and administrative expenses with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur. Beginning in 2018, PBF Energy granted performance share awards and performance unit awards to certain officers of the Company. Both types of awards have a three -year performance cycle and the payout for each, which ranges from 0% to 200% , is based on the relative ranking of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share and performance unit awards are each measured at fair value based on Monte Carlo simulation models. The performance share awards will be settled in PBF Energy Class A common stock and are accounted for as equity awards and the performance unit awards will be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards. Income Taxes As a result of the PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock, PBF Energy expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions reflecting the step up in tax basis in the acquired assets. Those deductions will be allocated to PBF Energy and will be taken into account in reporting PBF Energy’s taxable income. As a result of a federal income tax election made by PBF LLC, applicable to a portion of PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units, the income tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC, underlying a portion of the units PBF Energy acquired, has been adjusted based upon the amount that PBF Energy paid for that portion of its PBF LLC Series A Units. PBF Energy entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in “Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies”) which provides for the payment by PBF Energy equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of these transactions, PBF Energy’s tax basis in its share of PBF LLC’s assets will be higher than the book basis of these same assets. This resulted in a deferred tax asset of $306,231 as of December 31, 2018 , of which the majority is expected to be realized over 10 years as the tax basis of these assets is amortized. Deferred taxes are provided using a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences represent the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. PBF Energy recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the reduction of the corporate federal tax rate to 21% as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets associated with the payments made or expected to be made related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability were also reduced. The Federal tax returns for all years since 2015 and state tax returns for all years since 2013 to 2016 (see “Note 19 - Income Taxes”) are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities. Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders, adjusted for the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the assumed income tax expense thereon, by the weighted average number of PBF Energy Class A common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to include the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A units outstanding for PBF Energy Class A common stock, if applicable under the if converted method, and the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding options to purchase shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, performance share awards and options and warrants to purchase PBF LLC Series A Units, subject to forfeiture utilizing the treasury stock method. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded status of its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabilities or assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. Fair Value Measurement A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst lease obligation and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments. Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold. The accounting treatment for commodity contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative. All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities. The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities. Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in cost of sales. Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. See “Note 18 - Revenues” for further details. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which provides guidance to improve the reporting of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. Under the new guidance, employers present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Additionally, under this guidance, employers will present the other non-service components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The guidance includes a practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan note to the financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018 and applied the new guidance retrospectively in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Income and expense amounts related to non-service components of net periodic benefit cost, historically recorded within Operating expenses and General and administrative expenses, have been recorded within Other income (expense). For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded income of $1,109 , expense of $1,402 and expense of $580 , respectively, related to the non-service components of net periodic benefit cost. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to increase clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the existing accounting guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. Additional ASUs have been issued subsequent to ASU 2016-02 to provide supplementary clarification and implementation guidance for leases related to, among other things, the application of certain practical expedients, the rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments (collectively, the Company refers to ASU 2016-02 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Lease Guidance”). The Updated Lease Guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company has adopted the Updated Lease Guidance effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach whereby a cumulative effect adjustment will be recognized upon adoption and the Updated Lease Guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company has completed its evaluation of the provisions of the Updated Lease Guidance, including the adoption of certain practical expedients allowed. The significant practical expedients adopted include the following: • The Company elected the practical expedient to apply the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption and not restate comparative periods; • The Company elected to utilize the “package of three” expedients, as defined in the Updated Lease Guidance, whereby it did not reassess whether contracts existing prior to the effective date contain leases, nor did it reassess lease classification determinations nor whether initial direct costs qualify for capitalization; • The Company elected the practical expedient to not capitalize any leases with initial terms of less than twelve months on its consolidated balance sheet; • The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components; and • The Company elected the practical expedient to continue to account for land easements (also known as “rights of way”) that were not previously accounted for as leases consistent with prior accounting until such contracts are modified or replaced, at which time they would b

PBF LOGISTICS LP

PBF LOGISTICS LP	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
PBF LOGISTICS LP [Abstract]
PBF LOGISTICS LP	PBF LOGISTICS LP PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, publicly-traded Delaware MLP formed by PBF Energy to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of its refineries, as well as for third-party customers. As of December 31, 2018 , a substantial majority of PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil, refined products and natural gas. PBF Energy also has agreements with PBFX that establish fees for certain general and administrative services and operational and maintenance services provided by PBF Holding to PBFX. These transactions, other than those with third parties, are eliminated by PBF Energy and PBF LLC in consolidation. PBFX, a variable interest entity, is consolidated by PBF Energy through its ownership of PBF LLC. PBF LLC, through its ownership of PBF GP, has the sole ability to direct the activities of PBFX that most significantly impact its economic performance. PBF LLC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of PBFX for accounting purposes. Since it’s inception in 2014, PBFX has entered in a series of transactions including drop-down transactions, acquisitions, and offerings. Such transactions occurring in the three years ended December 31, 2018 are discussed below. Offerings On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering of 15,812,500 common units. On April 5, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 2,875,000 of its common units, including 375,000 common units that were sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional common units, for net proceeds of $51,625 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “April 2016 PBFX Equity Offering”).

In consideration for the Development Assets limited liability company interests, PBFX delivered to PBF LLC total consideration of $31,586 , consisting of 1,494,134 common units of PBFX (the “Development Asset Acquisition”). East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition On July 16, 2018, PBFX entered into an agreement with Crown Point International, LLC (“Crown Point”) to purchase its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC, whose assets include a storage facility with related infrastructure and equipment and other idled assets located on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey (the “East Coast Storage Assets”). The East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition closed on October 1, 2018 and is further described in “Note 4 - Acquisitions”. As of December 31, 2018 , PBF LLC held a 44.0% limited partner interest in PBFX (consisting of 19,953,631 common units), with the remaining 56.0% limited partner interest held by the public unitholders. PBF LLC also owned all of the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) and indirectly owns a non-economic general partner interest in PBFX through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF GP, the general partner of PBFX. On February 13, 2019, PBFX entered into an Equity Restructuring Agreement (the “IDR Restructuring Agreement”) with PBF GP, pursuant to which the IDRs held by PBF LLC will be canceled and converted into newly issued PBFX common units (the “IDR Restructuring”). Prior to the IDR Restructuring, the IDRs entitled PBF LLC to receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 50.0% , of the cash PBFX distributed from operating surplus in excess of $0.345 per unit per quarter. As a result of the payment on May 31, 2017 by PBFX of its distribution for the first quarter of 2017, the financial tests required for conversion of all of PBFX’s previously outstanding subordinated units into common units were satisfied. As a result, all of PBFX’s subordinated units, which were owned by PBF LLC, converted on a one -for-one basis into common units effective June 1, 2017. The conversion of the subordinated units did not impact the amount of cash distributions paid by PBFX or the total number of its outstanding units. The subordinated units were issued by PBFX in connection with its initial public offering in May 2014.

The East Coast Storage Assets consist of a storage facility with multi-use storage capacity, an Aframax-capable marine facility, a rail facility, a truck terminal, equipment, contracts and certain other idled assets located on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey. PBFX is currently in the process of restarting certain of the acquired idled assets in connection with a third-party commercial agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition was $126,989 , including working capital and the Contingent Consideration (as defined below), which was comprised of an initial payment at closing of approximately $75,000 with a remaining $32,000 balance being payable one year after closing. Additionally, the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition includes an earn-out provision related to an existing commercial agreement with a third-party, based on the future results of restarting certain of the acquired idled assets (the “Contingent Consideration”). The consideration was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. The fair value allocation is subject to adjustment pending completion of the final purchase valuation, which was in process as of December 31, 2018. PBFX accounted for the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby PBFX recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The total purchase consideration and the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows: Purchase Price Gross purchase price* $ 105,900 Estimated working capital adjustments (11 ) Contingent consideration** 21,100 Total consideration $ 126,989 * Includes $30,900 net present value payable of $32,000 due to Crown Point one year after closing. ** Contingent consideration is included in “Other long-term liabilities” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to the agreement, PBFX and Crown Point will share equally in the future operating profits of the restarted assets, as defined in the agreement, over a contractual term of up to approximately three years starting in 2020. PBFX recorded the earn-out provision as Contingent Consideration based on its estimated fair value at acquisition date. This amount of $21,100 was recorded within Other long-term liabilities, based on anticipated payments of $27,978 , which are discounted over the three -year contractual period starting in 2020.

Aron. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, a liability is recognized for the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company’s storage tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, with any change in the market price being recorded in Cost of products and other. The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Company’s overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. In addition, the Company is subject to obligations to comply with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures, including regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB32”), to address environmental compliance and greenhouse gas and other emissions. These requirements include incremental costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as to implement and manage new emission controls and programs. Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations fluctuate with the volume of applicable product sales and timing of credit purchases. Early Return of Railcars On September 30, 2018, the Company agreed to voluntarily return a portion of railcars under an operating lease in order to rationalize certain components of its railcar fleet based on prevailing market conditions in the crude oil by rail market. Under the terms of the lease amendment, the Company will pay agreed amounts in lieu of satisfaction of return conditions (the “early termination penalty”) and will pay a reduced rental fee over the remaining term of the lease. Certain of these railcars are idle and the remaining railcars were taken out of service during the fourth quarter of 2018 and subsequently fully returned to the lessor. As a result, the Company recognized an expense of $52,313 for year ended December 31, 2018 included within Cost of sales consisting of (i) a $40,313 charge for the early termination penalty and (ii) a $12,000 charge related to the remaining lease payments associated with the portion of railcars within the amended lease, that were idled and out of service as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, $7,106 of these payments are anticipated to be paid within the next twelve months and are included within the inventory-related accruals category above.

The sublimit for letters of credit was $1,500,000 . The LC Participation Fee ranged from 1.25% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s senior secured debt rating and the Fronting Fee was equal to 0.25% . At the option of PBF Holding, borrowings bore interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin ranged from 0.50% to 1.25% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case depending on the Company’s senior secured debt rating. On May 2, 2018, PBF Holding and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement with a new asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum commitment of $3,400,000 , a maturity date of May 2023 and redefines certain components of the Borrowing Base, as defined in the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to make more funding available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.25% to 2.00% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating. In addition, an accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3,500,000 . The LC Participation Fee ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating and the Fronting Fee is capped at 0.25% . The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends and the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates and the ability of PBF Holding to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year; all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement has a financial covenant which requires that if at any time Excess Availability, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the then existing Borrowing Base and the then aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (the “Financial Covenant Testing Amount”), and (ii) $100,000 , and until such time as Excess Availability is greater than the Financial Covenant Testing Amount and $100,000 for a period of 12 or more consecutive days, PBF Holding will not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and determined as of the last day of the most recently completed quarter, to be less than 1.0 to 1.0 . PBF Holding’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are (a) guaranteed by each of its domestic operating subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (b) secured by a lien on (i) PBF LLC’s equity interest in PBF Holding and (ii) certain assets of PBF Holding and the subsidiary guarantors, including all deposit accounts (other than zero balance accounts, cash collateral accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts, all of which are excluded from the definition of collateral), all accounts receivable, all hydrocarbon inventory (other than the intermediate and finished products owned by J. Aron pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreements) and to the extent evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise related to the foregoing, all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing. There was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2018 . At December 31, 2017 , there was $350,000 outstanding under the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement. Issued letters of credit were $400,695 and $586,274 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. PBFX Credit Facilities On May 14, 2014, in connection with the closing of the PBFX Offering, PBFX entered into a five -year, $275,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”) and a three -year, $300,000 term loan facility (the “PBFX Term Loan”), each with the administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders. The PBFX Term Loan was fully repaid as of December 31, 2017. The 2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $275,000 to $325,000 in December 2014 and from $325,000 to $360,000 in May 2016. On July 30, 2018, PBFX replaced the 2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility with a $500,000 amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”). The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions, capital expenditures, and other general partnership purposes and is guaranteed by a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC. PBFX has the ability to increase the maximum amount of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility by up to $250,000 to a total facility size of $750,000 , subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility includes a $75,000 sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $25,000 sublimit for swingline loans. Obligations under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by PBFX’s restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on PBFX’s assets and those of PBFX’s restricted subsidiaries. The maturity date of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is July 30, 2023, but may be extended for one year on up to two occasions, subject to certain customary terms and conditions. Borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus an Applicable Margin, all as defined in the agreement governing the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility (the “PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.75% to 1.75% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.75% to 2.75% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans in each case depending on PBFX’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement. The PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for revolving credit facilities of this nature which, among other things, limit or restrict PBFX’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee debt, incur liens, make investments, make restricted payments, amend material contracts, engage in certain business activities, engage in mergers, consolidations and other organizational changes, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into burdensome agreements, or enter into transactions with affiliates on terms which are not at arm’s length. Additionally, commencing with the Measurement Period ending September 30, 2018, PBFX is required to maintain (a) Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 2.50 to 1.00 ; (b) Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.50 to 1.00 ; and (c) Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 (all terms as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement). The PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for transactions of their nature, including, but not limited to (and subject to any applicable grace periods when applicable), the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to perform or observe any covenant contained in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement or related documentation, any representation or warranty made in the agreements or related documentation being untrue in any material respect when made, default under certain material debt agreements, commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, certain changes in PBFX’s ownership or the ownership or board composition of PBF GP and material judgments or orders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments, declare any outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and/or exercise remedies against PBFX and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement and related documentation or applicable law. During 2018 PBFX used advances under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility or the 2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Knoxville Terminals Purchase, the East Coast Storage Asset Acquisition and other capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid, from time-to-time, without penalty. As of December 31, 2018 , there were $156,000 of borrowings and $4,010 of letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, 2017 , there were $29,700 of borrowings and $3,610 of letters of credit outstanding under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. PBFX 2023 Senior Notes On May 12, 2015, PBFX entered into an indenture among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“PBF Finance”, and together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), the Guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $350,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “PBFX Senior Notes”). The initial purchasers in the offering purchased $330,090 aggregate principal amount of PBFX Senior Notes pursuant to a private placement transaction conducted under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates and family members purchased the remaining $19,910 aggregate principal amount of PBFX Senior Notes in a separate private placement transaction. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $343,000 from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, and used such proceeds to pay $88,000 of the cash consideration due in connection with the DCR Products Pipeline and Truck Rack Acquisition and to repay $255,000 of outstanding indebtedness under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. On October 6, 2017, PBFX issued $175,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes”). The New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes were issued at 102% of face value, or an effective interest rate of 6.442% . Furthermore, the New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes were issued under the indenture governing the 6.875% Senior Notes issued on May 12, 2015 (the “initial PBFX 2023 Senior Notes” and, together with the New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes, the “PBFX 2023 Senior Notes”). The New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes are treated as a single series with the initial PBFX 2023 Senior Notes and have the same terms except that (i) the New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes were subject to a separate registration rights agreement, and (ii) the New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes were issued initially under CUSIP numbers different from the initial PBFX 2023 Senior Notes. PBFX used the net proceeds from the offering of the New PBFX 2023 Senior Notes to repay a portion of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and for general capital purposes. PBF LLC agreed to a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the indenture. The PBFX 2023 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. The PBFX 2023 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured debt and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of PBFX’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes. The PBFX 2023 Senior Notes will be senior to any future subordinated indebtedness the Issuers may incur. The PBFX indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for transactions of this nature. These covenants include limitations on PBFX’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) make investments; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions on units or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt; (iv) create liens; (v) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (vi) sell assets; (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. PBFX has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes at varying prices which are no less than 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset dispositions, or in event of default as defined in the indenture. The outstanding balances under the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes were $525,000 as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Senior Notes On February 9, 2012, PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation, completed the offering of $675,500 aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”). The net proceeds, after deducting the original issue discount, the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions, and the fees and expenses of the offering, were used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness plus accrued interest, as well as to reduce the outstanding balance of the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement. On November 24, 2015, PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation, completed an offering of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”, and together with the 2020 Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $490,000 after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Issuers used the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. The Senior Secured Notes were secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of the present and future assets of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries (other than assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility). Payment of the Senior Secured Notes is jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes at varying prices no less than 100% of the principal amounts of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the Senior Secured Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the indenture agreement. In addition, the Senior Secured Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities including limitations on PBF Holding’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (1) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; (2) make equity distributions; (3) pay dividends on or repurchase capital stock or make other restricted payments; (4) enter into transactions with affiliates; (5) create liens; (6) engage in mergers and consolidations or otherwise sell all or substantially all of its assets; (7) designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; (8) make certain investments; and (9) limit the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to PBF Holding. At all times after (a) a covenant suspension event (which requires that the Senior Secured Notes have investment grade ratings from both Moody’s Investment Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s), or (b) a Collateral Fall-Away Event, as defined in the indenture, the Senior Secured Notes will become unsecured. On May 30, 2017, PBF Holding entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) among PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation (“PBF Finance” and, together with PBF Holding, the “Issuers”), the guarantors named therein (collectively the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $725,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $711,576 from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, all of which was used to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 2020 Senior Secured Notes, to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes which remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes. The difference between the carrying value of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes on the date they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired has been classified as debt extinguishment costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations which rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including PBF Holding’s Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Senior Notes. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness (including the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at varying prices which are no less than 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 2025 Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the Indenture. In addition, the 2025 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities that limit certain types of additional debt, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Notes are rated investment grade. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes in connection with the closing of the Tender Offer and the redemption described above, a Collateral Fall-Away Event under the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes occurred on May 30, 2017, and the 2023 Senior Notes became unsecured and certain covenants were modified, as provided for in the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes and related documents. The 2025 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes are collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes”. PBF Rail Term Loan On December 22, 2016, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”) entered into a $35,000 term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”) with a bank previously party to the Rail Facility. The PBF Rail Term Loan amortizes monthly over its five year term and bears interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus the margin as defined in the agreement governing the PBF Rail Term Loan (the “Rail Credit Agreement”). As security for the PBF Rail Term Loan, PBF Rail pledged, among other things: (i) certain Eligible Railcars; (ii) the Debt Service Reserve Account (as defined in the Rail Credit Agreement); and (iii) PBF Holding’s membership interest in PBF Rail. Additionally, the Rail Credit Agreement contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for transactions of this nature. PBF Rail may at any time repay the PBF Rail Term Loan without penalty in the event that railcars securing the loan are sold, scrapped or otherwise removed from the collateral pool. The outstanding balances under the PBF Rail Term Loan were $21,554 and $28,366 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Precious Metal Catalyst Leases Certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements whereby such subsidiary sold a portion of its precious metal catalysts to a major commercial bank and then leased back the precious metal catalysts. The volume of the precious metal catalysts and the lease rate are fixed over the term of each lease. At maturity, the Company must repurchase the precious metal catalysts in question at its then fair market value. The Company believes that there is a substantial market for precious metal catalysts and that it will be able to release such catalysts at maturity. The Company treated these transactions as financing arrangements, and the lease payments are recorded as interest expense over the agreements’ terms. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in value of the underlying catalysts. The fair value of these repurchase obligations as reflected in the fair value of long-term debt outstanding table below is measured using Level 2 inputs. Details on the catalyst leases at each of the Company’s refineries as of December 31, 2018 are included in the following table: Annual lease fee Annual interest rate Expiration date Paulsboro catalyst lease $ 140 2.20 % December 2019 (2) Delaware City catalyst lease $ 210 1.95 % October 2019 (2) Delaware City catalyst lease - Palladium $ 30 2.05 % October 2019 (2) Delaware City bridge lease $ 29 2.10 % February 2019 (1) Toledo catalyst lease $ 178 1.75 % June 2020 Toledo bridge lease $ 22 2.10 % April 2019 (1) Chalmette catalyst lease $ 97 2.10 % October 2021 Chalmette catalyst lease $ 171 2.20 % November 2019 (2) Chalmette bridge lease $ 4 2.15 % April 2019 (1) Torrance catalyst lease $ 143 1.78 % July 2019 (2) __________________ (1) During 2018 Delaware City Refining, Toledo Refining and Chalmette Refining entered into three new platinum bridge leases which will expire in 2019. These leases are payable at maturity and are not anticipated to be renewed. The total outstanding balance related to these bridge leases as of December 31, 2018 was $2,378 and is included in Current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. (2) These catalyst leases are included in Long-term debt as of December 31, 2018 as the Company has the ability and intent to finance this debt through availability under other credit facilities if the catalyst leases are not renewed at maturity. Note Payable In connection with the purchase of a waste water treatment facility servicing the Toledo refinery completed on September 28, 2017, the Company issued a short-term promissory note payable in the amount of $6,831 due June 30, 2018. Payments of $403 on the note were made monthly with a balloon payment of $3,200 paid at maturity. The note payable was fully repaid as of December 31, 2018 . Debt Maturities Debt maturing in the next five years and thereafter is as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 31,368 2020 8,633 2021 25,906 2022 — 2023 1,183,819 Thereafter 725,000 $ 1,974,726

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease and Other Commitments The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery facilities and equipment, and railcars under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. Total rent expense was $132,436 , $125,433 and $129,768 for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company is party to agreements which provide for the treatment of wastewater and the supply of hydrogen and steam for certain of its refineries. The Company made purchases of $68,613 , $64,050 and $53,364 under these supply agreements for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The fixed and determinable amounts of the obligations under these agreements and total minimum future annual rentals, exclusive of related costs, are approximately: Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 125,464 2020 103,738 2021 67,699 2022 45,446 2023 38,049 Thereafter 204,452 Total obligations $ 584,848 Employment Agreements PBF Investments (“PBFI”) has entered into amended and restated employment agreements with members of executive management and certain other key personnel that include automatic annual renewals, unless canceled. Under some of the agreements, certain of the executives would receive a lump sum payment of between one and a half to 2.99 times their base salary and continuation of certain employee benefits for the same period upon termination by the Company “Without Cause”, or by the employee “For Good Reason”, or upon a “Change in Control”, as defined in the agreements. Upon death or disability, certain of the Company’s executives, or their estates, would receive a lump sum payment of at least one half of their base salary. Environmental Matters The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities. In connection with the Paulsboro refinery acquisition, the Company assumed certain environmental remediation obligations. The Paulsboro environmental liability of $10,961 recorded as of December 31, 2018 ( $10,282 as of December 31, 2017 ) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8.0% . At December 31, 2018 the undiscounted liability totaled $17,807 and the Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $5,932 over the next five years . The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , this liability is self-guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations. In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets and the Paulsboro refinery, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011, subject to certain limitations. In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company obtained $3,936 in financial assurance (in the form of a surety bond) to cover estimated potential site remediation costs associated with an agreed to Administrative Order of Consent with EPA. The estimated cost assumes remedial activities will continue for a minimum of thirty years. Further, in connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at the refinery. At the time the Company acquired the Chalmette refinery it was subject to a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement to negotiate the resolution of deviations on or before December 31, 2014. On May 18, 2018 the Order was settled by LDEQ and the Chalmette refinery for an administrative penalty of $741 , of which $100 has been paid in cash and the remainder has been spent on beneficial environmental projects. The Delaware City refinery appealed a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order issued in March 2017, including a $150 fine, alleging violation of a 2013 Secretary’s Order authorizing crude oil shipment by barge. DNREC determined that the Delaware City refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35.7 million gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, the Delaware City refinery appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. On March 5, 2018, Notice of Penalty Assessment was settled by DNREC, the Delaware Attorney General and Delaware City refinery for $100 . The Delaware City refinery made no admissions with respect to the alleged violations and agreed to request a Coastal Zone Act status decision prior to making crude oil shipments to destinations other than Paulsboro. The Delaware City refinery has paid the penalty. The Coastal Zone Act status decision request was submitted to DNREC and the outstanding appeal was withdrawn as required under the settlement agreement. On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol Permit”) to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The Judge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically, the Superior Court directed the Coastal Zone Board to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of ethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing, ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. DCR is currently evaluating its appeal options. At the time the Company acquired the Toledo refinery, EPA had initiated an investigation into the compliance of the refinery with EPA standards governing flaring pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. On February 1, 2013, EPA issued an Amended Notice of Violation, and on September 20, 2013, EPA issued a Notice of Violation and Finding of Violation to Toledo refinery, alleging certain violations of the Clean Air Act at its Plant 4 and Plant 9 flares since the acquisition of the refinery on March 1, 2011. Toledo refinery and EPA subsequently entered into tolling agreements pending settlement discussions. Although the resolution has not been finalized, the civil administrative penalty is anticipated to be approximately $645 including supplemental environmental projects. To the extent the administrative penalty exceeds such amount, it is not expected to be material to the Company. In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $130,817 as of December 31, 2018 ( $136,487 as of December 31, 2017 ), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. The Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $46,189 over the next five years. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to the Company’s ownership of the refinery and the logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or notices of violations (“NOVs”) issued by regulatory agencies in various years before the Company’s ownership, including the Southern California Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”). In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company agreed to take responsibility for NOV No. P63405 that ExxonMobil had received from the SCAQMD for Title V deviations that are alleged to have occurred in 2015. On August 14, 2018, the Company received a letter from SCAQMD offering to settle this NOV for $515 . The Company is currently in communication with SCAQMD to resolve this NOV. Subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance, the City of Torrance Fire Department, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets both before and after the Company’s acquisition. EPA in November 2016 conducted a Risk Management Plan (“RMP”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and issued preliminary findings in March 2017 concerning RMP potential operational violations. The Company is currently in communication with EPA to resolve the RMP preliminary findings. EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) in December 2016 conducted a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and also issued in March 2017 preliminary findings concerning RCRA potential operational violations. In April 2017, EPA referred the RCRA preliminary findings to DTSC for final resolution. On March 1, 2018, the Company received a notice of intent to sue from Environmental Integrity Project, on behalf of Environment California, under RCRA with respect to the alleged violations from EPA’s and DTSC’s December 2016 inspection. On March 2, 2018, DTSC issued an order to correct alleged RCRA violations relating to the accumulation of oil bearing materials in roll off bins during 2016 and 2017. On June 14, 2018, the Torrance refinery and DTSC reached settlement regarding the oil bearing materials in the form of a stipulation and order, wherein the Torrance refinery agreed that it would recycle or properly dispose of the oil bearing materials by the end of 2018 and pay an administrative penalty of $150 . The Torrance refinery has complied with these requirements. Following this settlement, in June 2018, DTSC referred the remaining alleged RCRA violations from EPA’s and DTSC’s December 2016 inspection to the California Attorney General for final resolution. The Torrance refinery and the California Attorney General are in discussions to resolve these remaining alleged RCRA violations. Other than the $150 DTSC administrative penalty, no other settlement or penalty demands have been received to date with respect to any of the other NOVs, preliminary findings, or order that are in excess of $100 . As the ultimate outcomes are uncertain, the Company cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate. In connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase, PBFX is responsible for the environmental remediation costs for conditions that existed on the closing date up to a maximum of $250 per year for ten years, with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. remaining responsible for any and all additional costs above such amounts during such period. The environmental liability of $1,570 recorded as of December 31, 2018 ( $1,923 as of December 31, 2017 ) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 1.83% . At December 31, 2018 the undiscounted liability is $1,698 and PBFX expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $1,250 over the next five years. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. In connection with the Knoxville Terminal Purchase, PBFX and Cummins purchased a ten -year, $30,000 environmental insurance policy against unknown environmental liabilities. PBFX did not assume, and is currently not aware of, any material pre-existing environmental obligations. Additionally, the seller remains responsible for pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to a specified amount for a specified period of time. In connection with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition, PBFX purchased a ten -year, $30,000 environmental insurance policy against unknown environmental liabilities. Additionally, the seller remains responsible for pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to a specified amount for a specified period of time. The recorded environmental liability associated with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition as of December 31, 2018 was $885 . Applicable Federal and State Regulatory Requirements The Company’s operations and many of the products it manufactures are subject to certain specific requirements of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The CAA contains provisions that require capital expenditures for the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAA or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in future years. In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, all of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. As of July 1, 2018 most of the Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur (except for Pennsylvania and Maryland - where less than 500 PPM sulfur is required). All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 2017. The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) implemented by EPA, which sets annual quotas for the quantity of renewable fuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States. In July 2018, EPA issued proposed amendments to the RFS program regulations that would establish annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels that would apply to all gasoline and diesel produced in the U.S. or imported in the year 2019. In addition, the separate proposal includes a proposed biomass-based diesel applicable volume for 2020. It is likely that RIN production will continue to be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic waiver credits or purchase excess RINs from suppliers on the open market. In addition, on November 26, 2018 EPA finalized revisions to an existing air regulation concerning Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (“MACT”) for Petroleum Refineries. The regulation requires additional continuous monitoring systems for eligible process safety valves relieving to atmosphere, minimum flare gas heat (Btu) content, and delayed coke drum vent controls to be installed by January 30, 2019. In addition, a program for ambient fence line monitoring for benzene was implemented prior to the deadline of January 30, 2018. The Company is in the process of implementing the requirements of this regulation. The regulation does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (“BTA”) as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As a result of the Torrance Acquisition, the Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to AB32. AB32 imposes a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) and Cap and Trade, which was extended for an additional ten years to 2030 in July 2017. The Company is responsible for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. However, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company is recovering the majority of these costs from its customers, and as such does not expect this obligation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2011, the Company is required to comply with EPA’s Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources, or MSAT2, regulations on gasoline that impose reductions in the benzene content of its produced gasoline. The Company purchases benzene credits to meet these requirements. The Company’s planned capital projects will reduce the amount of benzene credits that it needs to purchase. In addition, the renewable fuel standards mandate the blending of prescribed percentages of renewable fuels (e.g., ethanol and biofuels) into the Company’s produced gasoline and diesel. These new requirements, other requirements of the CAA and other presently existing or future environmental regulations may cause the Company to make substantial capital expenditures as well as the purchase of credits at significant cost, to enable its refineries to produce products that meet applicable requirements. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of the Company’s sites are subject to these laws and the Company may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In the Company’s current normal operations, it has generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund. The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy ultimately may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. For example, PBF LLC is required to include in taxable income PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s taxable income and gains (such share to be determined pursuant to the partnership agreement of PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions received by PBF LLC from PBFX, and such taxable income and gains will flow-through to PBF Energy to the extent of its allocable share of the taxable income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately available to PBF Energy on account of its indirect interest in PBFX may not be sufficient for PBF Energy to pay the amount of taxes it will owe on account of its indirect interests in PBFX. Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro-rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro-rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX. Tax Receivable Agreement PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions. The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 99.0% and 96.7% interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX. As a result of the reduction of the corporate federal tax rate to 21% as part of the TCJA, the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets associated with the payments made or expected to be made related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability were also reduced. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , PBF Energy has recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $373,512 and $362,142 , respectively, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that the Company expects to pay under the agreement.

Equity [Abstract]
STOCKHOLDERS’ AND MEMBERS’ EQUITY STRUCTURE	STOCKHOLDERS’ AND MEMBERS’ EQUITY STRUCTURE PBF Energy Capital Structure Class A Common Stock Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon the Company’s dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Class B Common Stock Holders of shares of Class B common stock are entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each PBF LLC Series A Unit beneficially owned by such holder. Accordingly, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy collectively have a number of votes in PBF Energy that is equal to the aggregate number of PBF LLC Series A Units that they hold. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Holders of Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of PBF Energy. Preferred Stock Authorized preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with designations, powers and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. PBF LLC Capital Structure PBF LLC Series A Units The allocation of profits and losses and distributions to PBF LLC Series A unitholders is governed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of PBF LLC. These allocations are made on a pro rata basis with PBF LLC Series C Units. PBF LLC Series A unitholders do not have voting rights. PBF LLC Series B Units The PBF LLC Series B Units are intended to be “profit interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 of the Internal Revenue Service and have a stated value of zero at issuance. The PBF LLC Series B Units are held by certain of the Company’s current and former officers, have no voting rights and are designed to increase in value only after the Company’s financial sponsors achieve certain levels of return on their investment in PBF LLC Series A Units. Accordingly, the amounts paid to the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, if any, will reduce only the amounts otherwise payable to the PBF LLC Series A Units held by the Company’s financial sponsors, and will not reduce or otherwise impact any amounts payable to PBF Energy (the holder of PBF LLC Series C Units), the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock or any other holder of PBF LLC Series A Units. The maximum number of PBF LLC Series B Units authorized to be issued is 1,000,000 . PBF LLC Series C Units The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on a parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. PBF LLC Series C Units are held solely by PBF Energy. Treasury Stock The Company’s Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $300,000 of the PBF Energy Class A common stock (as amended from time to time, the “Repurchase Program”). From the inception of the Repurchase Program through its expiration date, the Company has purchased approximately 6,050,717 shares of the PBF Energy Class A common stock through open market transactions under the Repurchase Program, for a total of $150,804 . The Repurchase Program expired on September 30, 2018 and was not renewed. These repurchases were made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased depended on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. The Company was not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases might have been suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company also records PBF Energy Class A common stock surrendered to cover income tax withholdings for certain directors and employees and others pursuant to the vesting of certain awards under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans as treasury shares. The following tables summarize the changes in equity for the controlling and noncontrolling interests of PBF Energy for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 : PBF Energy PBF Energy Noncontrolling Noncontrolling Interest in PBF Holding Noncontrolling Total Equity Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 2,336,654 $ 110,203 $ 10,808 $ 445,284 $ 2,902,949 Comprehensive income 131,268 4,698 44 42,264 178,274 Dividends and distributions (139,263 ) (2,086 ) — (49,532 ) (190,881 ) Effects of equity offerings and exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units on deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax receivable agreement obligation (4,926 ) — — — (4,926 ) Issuance of additional PBFX common units 28,564 — — 6,256 34,820 Stock-based compensation 19,697 — — 5,757 25,454 August 2018 Equity Offering 287,284 — — — 287,284 Exercise of PBF LLC and PBF Energy options and warrants, net 13,965 — — — 13,965 Taxes paid for net settlement of equity-based compensation (4,775 ) (568 ) — — (5,343 ) Other 7,997 — — (1,114 ) 6,883 Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 2,676,465 $ 112,247 $ 10,852 $ 448,915 $ 3,248,479	PBF Energy PBF Energy Noncontrolling Noncontrolling Interest in PBF Holding Noncontrolling Total Equity Balance at January 1, 2017 $ 2,025,044 $ 98,671 $ 12,513 $ 434,456 $ 2,570,684 Comprehensive income 414,575 16,714 95 51,073 482,457 Dividends and distributions (131,783 ) (4,584 ) (1,800 ) (44,636 ) (182,803 ) Stock-based compensation 21,503 — — 5,345 26,848 Exercise of PBF LLC options and warrants, net 10,533 (598 ) — — 9,935 Effects of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units on deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax receivable agreement obligation (1,139 ) — — — (1,139 ) Treasury stock purchases (1,038 ) — — — (1,038 ) Other (1,041 ) — — (954 ) (1,995 ) Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 2,336,654 $ 110,203 $ 10,808 $ 445,284 $ 2,902,949

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS	NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Noncontrolling Interest in PBF LLC PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s interest in PBF LLC was approximately 99.0% and 96.7% as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF Energy held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy.

PBF Energy Performance Awards Performance Share Awards In October 2018, the Company granted 179,072 performance share awards, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $50.23 , to certain officers of the Company which have a three -year performance period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 (“Performance Cycle”). The payout for the performance share units is based on the relative ranking of the TSR of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share units will vest on December 31, 2020, subject to forfeiture or acceleration under certain circumstances set forth in the award agreement. The performance share awards are issued under PBF Energy’s 2017 equity compensation plan and are settled in PBF Energy’s common stock at the end of the performance cycle. The number of shares distributed will range from zero to 200 percent of the number of performance share units granted based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed TSR rankings relative to its peers during the applicable performance measurement periods in the Performance Cycle plus additional shares of Common Stock may be awarded at vesting with respect to the computed value of dividend equivalents accrued during such performance measurement. The performance share awards are accounted for as equity awards, for which the fair value was determined on the grant date by application of a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the year ended December 31, 2018 there have been no forfeitures of performance share awards. The performance share awards grant date fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 2.89 % Dividend yield 2.95 % Expected volatility 39.04 % The risk-free interest rate for the remaining performance period as of the grant date is based on a linear interpolation of published yields of traded U.S. Treasury Interest-Only STRIP Bonds. The dividend yield assumption is based on the annualized most recent quarterly dividend divided by the stock price on the grant date. The assumption for the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price reflects the average of PBF Energy’s common stock historical and implied volatility. As of December 31, 2018 , unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share unit awards was $8,303 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. Performance Unit awards In October 2018, the Company granted 7,279,188 performance unit awards, with a fair value of $0.92 at December 31, 2018, to certain officers of the Company. The Performance Cycle and payout methodology for the performance unit awards is consistent with that of the performance share units. The performance units will vest on December 31, 2020, subject to forfeiture or acceleration under certain circumstances set forth in the award agreement. The performance unit awards are dollar denominated with a target value of $1.00 , with actual payout of up to $2.00 per unit (or 200 percent of target). The performance unit awards are settled in cash based on the payout amount determined at the end of the performance cycle. The Company accounts for the performance unit awards as liability awards which the Company recorded at fair market value on the date of grant. Subsequently, the performance unit awards will be marked-to-market at the end of each fiscal quarter by application of a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the year ended December 31, 2018 there have been no forfeitures of performance unit awards. As of December 31, 2018 , unrecognized compensation cost related to performance unit awards was $6,182 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. PBFX Phantom Units PBF GP’s board of directors adopted the PBF Logistics LP 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PBFX LTIP”) in connection with the completion of the PBFX Offering. The PBFX LTIP is for the benefit of employees, consultants, service providers and non-employee directors of the general partner and its affiliates. In the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , PBFX issued phantom unit awards under the PBFX LTIP to certain directors, officers and employees of our general partner or its affiliates as compensation. The fair value of each phantom unit on the grant date is equal to the market price of PBFX’s common unit on that date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is amortized over the vesting period of four years , using the straight-line method. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to PBFX’s nonvested phantom units totaled $7,032 and $6,662 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of four years . The fair value of nonvested service phantom units outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , totaled $14,714 and $13,845 , respectively. A summary of PBFX’s unit award activity for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 is set forth below: Number of Phantom Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2016 403,375 $ 25.06 Granted 284,854 19.95 Vested (116,349 ) 25.24 Forfeited (7,000 ) 23.20 Nonvested at December 31, 2016 564,880 $ 22.47 Granted 319,940 20.97 Vested (217,171 ) 23.15 Forfeited (24,875 ) 21.23 Nonvested at December 31, 2017 642,774 $ 21.54 Granted 328,052 19.95 Vested (233,993 ) 22.71 Forfeited (20,125 ) 18.81 Nonvested at December 31, 2018 716,708 $ 20.53 The PBFX LTIP provides for the issuance of distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”) in connection with phantom unit awards. A DER entitles the participant, upon vesting of the related phantom units, to a mandatory cash payments equal to the product of the number of vested phantom unit awards and the cash distribution per common unit paid by PBFX to its common unitholders. Cash payments made in connection with DERs are charged to partners’ equity, accrued and paid upon vesting.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	12 Months Ended

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Contribution Plan The Company’s defined contribution plan covers all employees. Employees are eligible to participate as of the first day of the month following 30 days of service. Participants can make basic contributions up to 50 percent of their annual salary subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company matches participants’ contributions at the rate of 200 percent of the first 3 percent of each participant’s total basic contribution based on the participant’s total annual salary. The Company’s contribution to the qualified defined contribution plans was $26,310 , $23,321 and $19,746 for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Defined Benefit and Post-Retirement Medical Plans The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Qualified Plan”) with a policy to fund pension liabilities in accordance with the limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and Federal income tax laws. In addition, the Company sponsors a supplemental pension plan covering certain employees, which provides incremental payments that would have been payable from the Company’s principal pension plan, were it not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations (the “Supplemental Plan”). The funded status is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation which is to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The plan assets and benefit obligations are measured as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The non-union Delaware City employees and all Paulsboro, Toledo, Chalmette and Torrance employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans as of the respective acquisition dates. The union Delaware City employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans upon commencement of normal operations. The Company did not assume any of the employees’ pension liability accrued prior to the respective acquisitions. The Company formed the Post-Retirement Medical Plan on December 31, 2010 to provide health care coverage continuation from date of retirement to age 65 for qualifying employees associated with the Paulsboro acquisition. The Company credited the qualifying employees with their prior service under Valero which resulted in the recognition of a liability for the projected benefit obligation. The Post-Retirement Medical Plan was amended during 2013 to include all corporate employees, amended in 2014 to include Delaware City and Toledo employees, amended in 2015 to include Chalmette employees and amended in 2016 to include Torrance employees. The changes in the benefit obligation, the changes in fair value of plan assets, and the funded status of the Company’s Pension and Post-Retirement Medical Plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Pension Plans Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2018 2017 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 185,231 $ 135,508 $ 21,527 $ 22,740 Service cost 47,344 40,572 1,148 1,263 Interest cost 5,793 4,336 620 688 Plan amendments — 462 — — Plan settlements — (4,881 ) — — Benefit payments (7,214 ) (4,034 ) (562 ) (693 ) Actuarial (gain) loss (12,811 ) 13,268 (3,388 ) (2,471 ) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 218,343 $ 185,231 $ 19,345 $ 21,527 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 121,652 $ 75,367 $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets (6,148 ) 14,019 — — Benefits paid (7,214 ) (4,034 ) (562 ) (693 ) Plan settlements — (4,881 ) — — Employer contributions 35,081 41,181 562 693 Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 143,371 $ 121,652 $ — $ — Reconciliation of funded status: Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 143,371 $ 121,652 $ — $ — Less benefit obligations at end of year 218,343 185,231 19,345 21,527 Funded status at end of year $ (74,972 ) $ (63,579 ) $ (19,345 ) $ (21,527 ) The accumulated benefit obligations for the Company’s Pension Plans exceed the fair value of the assets of those plans at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans approximated $184,531 and $148,011 at December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Benefit payments, which reflect expected future services that the Company expects to pay are as follows for the years ended December 31: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2019 $ 11,155 $ 1,342 2020 13,039 1,605 2021 16,570 1,726 2022 19,991 1,761 2023 19,228 1,746 Years 2024-2028 136,559 9,121 The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet legal funding requirements, plus any additional amounts that may be appropriate considering the funded status of the plans, tax consequences, the cash flow generated by the Company and other factors. The Company plans to contribute approximately $34,000 to the Company’s Pension Plans during 2019 . The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 : Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 Components of net periodic benefit cost: Service cost $ 47,344 $ 40,572 $ 36,359 $ 1,148 $ 1,263 $ 1,047 Interest cost 5,793 4,336 3,096 620 688 528 Expected return on plan assets (8,540 ) (5,766 ) (4,681 ) — — — Settlement loss recognized — 993 — — — — Amortization of prior service cost 85 53 53 646 646 541 Amortization of actuarial loss 285 452 1,043 — — — Net periodic benefit cost $ 44,967 $ 40,640 $ 35,870 $ 2,414 $ 2,597 $ 2,116 Lump sum payments made by the Supplemental Plan to employees retiring in 2018 did not exceed the Plan’s total service and interest costs expected for 2018. Lump sum payments made by the Supplemental Plan to employees retiring in 2017 exceeded the Plan’s total service and interest costs expected for 2017. Settlement losses are required to be recorded when lump sum payments exceed total service and interest costs. As a result, the 2017 pension expense included a settlement expense related to our cumulative lump sum payments made during the year ended December 31, 2017. The pre-tax amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 Prior service costs $ — $ 462 $ — $ — $ — $ 2,524 Net actuarial loss (gain) 1,877 5,015 176 (3,388 ) (2,471 ) 1,487 Amortization of losses and prior service cost (826 ) (1,410 ) (1,096 ) (646 ) (646 ) (541 ) Total changes in other comprehensive income (loss) $ 1,051 $ 4,067 $ (920 ) $ (4,034 ) $ (3,117 ) $ 3,470 The pre-tax amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2018 , and 2017 that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic costs were as follows: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2018 2017 Prior service costs $ (799 ) $ (885 ) $ (4,691 ) $ (5,337 ) Net actuarial (loss) gain (24,136 ) (22,544 ) 3,981 593 Total $ (24,935 ) $ (23,429 ) $ (710 ) $ (4,744 ) The following pre-tax amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2018 are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost during the year ended December 31, 2019 : Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Medical Plan Amortization of prior service costs $ (86 ) $ (646 ) Amortization of net actuarial (loss) gain (180 ) 135 Total $ (266 ) $ (511 ) The weighted average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of December 31, 2018 , and 2017 were as follows: Qualified Plan Supplemental Plan Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2018 2017 2018 2017 Discount rate - benefit obligations 4.22 % 3.58 % 4.17 % 3.55 % 3.99 % 3.33 % Rate of compensation increase 4.55 % 4.53 % 5.00 % 5.00 % — — The weighted average assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Qualified Plan Supplemental Plan Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 Discount rates: Effective rate for service cost 3.62 % 4.15 % 4.15 % 3.58 % 4.17 % 4.17 % 3.59 % 4.10 % 4.10 % Effective rate for interest cost 3.21 % 3.38 % 3.38 % 3.15 % 3.20 % 3.20 % 2.97 % 3.11 % 3.11 % Effective rate for interest on service cost 3.32 % 3.59 % 3.59 % 3.24 % 3.63 % 3.63 % 3.46 % 3.84 % 3.84 % Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 6.25 % 6.50 % 7.00 % N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Rate of compensation increase 4.53 % 4.81 % 4.81 % 5.00 % 5.50 % 5.50 % N/A N/A N/A The assumed health care cost trend rates as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Post-Retirement Medical Plan 2018 2017 Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 5.8 % 6.0 % Rate to which the cost trend rate was assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) 4.5 % 4.5 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2038 2038 Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for retiree health care plans.

Assets categorized in Level 2 of the hierarchy consist of collective trusts and are measured at fair value based on the closing net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by the fund manager and reported daily. As noted above, the Company’s post-retirement medical plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and has no assets.

Consistent with these financial objectives as of December 31, 2018 , the plan’s target allocations for plan assets are 54% invested in equity securities, 40% fixed income investments and 6% in real estate. Equity securities include international stocks and a blend of U.S. growth and value stocks of various sizes of capitalization. Fixed income securities include bonds and notes issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The aggregate asset allocation is reviewed on an annual basis. The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the Qualified Plan is based on the Company’s view of long-term expectations and asset mix.

REVENUES

REVENUES	12 Months Ended

Oil and Gas Revenue [Abstract]
REVENUES	REVENUES Adoption of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recognized revenue from customers when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been rendered, (iii) the buyer’s price was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which the service was rendered or product delivered were recorded as deferred revenue. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers as detailed below. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been applied for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The Company has applied ASC 606 only to those contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018. As such, the financial information for prior periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implementing ASC 606 are detailed below. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As described in “Note 20 - Segment Information”, the Company’s business consists of the Refining Segment and Logistics Segment. The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues for each product or group of similar products or services by segment for the periods presented. Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Refining Segment: Gasoline and distillates $ 23,032,567 $ 18,316,079 $ 14,017,350 Feedstocks and other 1,372,343 1,215,693 374,800 Asphalt and blackoils 1,592,936 1,162,339 699,966 Chemicals 842,768 770,491 554,392 Lubricants 321,465 305,101 260,358 Total Revenues $ 27,162,079 $ 21,769,703 $ 15,906,866 Logistics Segment: Logistics 283,440 257,588 189,006 Total revenue prior to eliminations $ 27,445,519 $ 22,027,291 $ 16,095,872 Elimination of intercompany revenue (259,426 ) (240,654 ) (175,448 ) Total Revenues $ 27,186,093 $ 21,786,637 $ 15,920,424 The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined petroleum products reported in the Refining segment. These revenues are largely based on the current spot (market) prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to our customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Refining segment also has contracts which contain fixed pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume features with makeup periods, or other factors that have not materially been affected by ASC 606. Logistics segment revenue is generated by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storing and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes. A majority of the Company’s logistics revenues are generated between intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation. Deferred Revenues The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $20,086 and $8,933 as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Significant Judgment and Practical Expedients For performance obligations related to sales of products, the Company has determined that customers are able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the point in time that the products are delivered. The Company has determined that the transfer of control upon delivery to the customer’s requested destination accurately depicts the transfer of goods. Upon the delivery of the products and transfer of control, the Company generally has the present right to payment and the customers bear the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	12 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES PBF Energy is required to file federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to-date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (see “Note 14 - Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity Structure”). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd., that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the TCJA. The TCJA makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; (2) requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transition Tax”); (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (4) requiring a current inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations; (5) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (6) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), a new minimum tax; (7) creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; and (8) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. In connection with the enactment of the TCJA, PBF Energy recorded a net tax expense of $20,153 in the year ending December 31, 2017 as further discussed below. The other legislative areas within TCJA, such as the Transition Tax and the Global Low-Taxed Intangible Income, did not have a material impact on the provision for income taxes. Additionally, the new legislation did not have any impact on the need for a valuation allowance. Given the Company’s reversing taxable temporary differences and history of generating book income, no valuation allowances have been provided for all periods presented. The Company has completed its accounting for the impact of the TCJA and has recorded no additional material items. The income tax provision in the PBF Energy consolidated statements of operations consists of the following: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Current expense (benefit): Federal $ 766 $ 1,534 $ (87,829 ) Foreign — 75 — State — 142 (19,279 ) Total current 766 1,751 (107,108 ) Deferred expense (benefit): Federal 18,693 250,042 205,502 Foreign 7,221 (3,595 ) (8,412 ) State 6,827 67,386 47,668 Total deferred 32,741 313,833 244,758 Total provision for income taxes $ 33,507 $ 315,584 $ 137,650 The difference between PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate and the United States statutory rate is reconciled below: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Provision at Federal statutory rate 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Increase (decrease) attributable to flow-through of certain tax adjustments: State income taxes (net of federal income tax) 5.0 % 4.6 % 4.6 % Nondeductible/nontaxable items 1.0 % 0.2 % 0.1 % Manufacturer’s benefit deduction — % — % 1.9 % Rate differential from foreign jurisdictions 0.9 % 0.3 % 1.5 % Provision to return adjustment (4.0 )% — % (0.4 )% Adjustment to deferred tax assets and liabilities for change in tax rates — % 2.8 % 1.7 % Stock-based compensation (2.6 )% — % — % Other (0.6 )% 0.3 % 0.2 % Effective tax rate 20.7 % 43.2 % 44.6 % PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $46,976 , $67,914 and $54,707 , respectively, was 16.0% , 39.5% and 37.9% , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the main drivers of PBF Energy’s reduced effective tax rate related to the treatment of stock-based compensation excess tax benefits under recently adopted ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, and the provision to return adjustments primarily attributable to the state business mix apportionment. During 2017, PBF Energy made a one-time adjustment to deferred tax assets and liabilities in relation to the TCJA. The net result of the adjustment was a charge of approximately $20,153 , or an increase to the tax rate of 2.8% . Under GAAP, PBF Energy is required to recognize the effect of the TCJA in the period of enactment. As such, net income tax expense recorded in 2017 consisted of a net tax expense of $193,499 associated with the remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement associated deferred tax assets and a net tax benefit of $173,346 for the reduction of our deferred tax liabilities as a result of the TCJA. For years starting before January 1, 2018, the Company’s foreign earnings are taxed at a lower income tax rate as compared to its domestic operations. Accordingly, the Company recognized an income tax expense in 2017 as its foreign entity’s operations resulted in a loss. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities for changes in tax rates in 2016 were a result of changes in business mix, including the 2016 acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets in California. For financial reporting purposes, income (loss) before income taxes attributable to PBF Energy Inc. stockholders includes the following components: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended United States $ 134,318 $ 749,559 $ 343,875 Foreign 27,504 (18,458 ) (35,414 ) Total income before income taxes attributable to PBF Energy Inc. stockholders $ 161,822 $ 731,101 $ 308,461 A summary of the components of PBF Energy’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities consists of the following: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Deferred tax assets Purchase interest step-up $ 306,231 $ 325,405 Inventory 46,958 — Pension, employee benefits and compensation 55,103 40,455 Hedging 3,127 24,175 Net operating loss carry forwards 134,672 137,887 Environmental liabilities 38,121 38,388 Other 2,749 3,709 Total deferred tax assets 586,961 570,019 Valuation allowances — — Total deferred tax assets, net 586,961 570,019 Deferred tax liabilities Property, plant and equipment 578,826 528,336 Inventory — 21,200 Total deferred tax liabilities 578,826 549,536 Net deferred tax assets $ 8,135 $ 20,483 As of December 31, 2018, PBF Energy has federal and state income tax net operating loss carry forwards of $546,053 and $300,956 , respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forward was generated in years prior to 2018 and expires in varying amounts through 2037. The state net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates from 2028 through 2038. The Company has not recorded any valuation allowances against these assets, as it is deemed “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets will be realized, based on the Company’s historical earnings, forecasted income, and the reversal of temporary differences. The reported income tax expense (benefit) in the PBF LLC consolidated statements of operations consists of the following: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Current income tax expense (benefit) $ 766 $ 1,743 $ 3,887 Deferred income tax (benefit) expense 7,233 (12,526 ) 19,802 Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 7,999 $ (10,783 ) $ 23,689 During the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter of 2016, management determined that the deferred income tax liabilities for PBF Ltd. were understated for prior periods.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and Logistics. Operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations. Refining The Company’s Refining segment includes the operations of its five refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX. The Company’s refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, New Orleans, Louisiana and Torrance, California. The refineries produce unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. The Company purchases crude oil, other feedstocks and blending components from various third-party suppliers. The Company sells products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and is able to ship products to other international destinations. Logistics The Company’s Logistics segment is comprised of PBFX, a publicly-traded MLP, formed to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX’s assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, tank farms and pipelines that were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, the Company’s refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third-party customers through fee-based commercial agreements. PBFX currently does not generate significant third-party revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy and PBF LLC perspective, the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment’s revenues include intersegment transactions with the Company’s Refining segment at prices the Company believes are substantially equivalent to the prices that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Activities of the Company’s business that are not included in the two operating segments are included in Corporate. Such activities consist primarily of corporate staff operations and other items that are not specific to the normal operations of the two operating segments. The Company does not allocate non-operating income and expense items, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refinery segment’s operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes. Total assets of each segment consist of property, plant and equipment, inventories, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and other assets directly associated with the segment’s operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of deferred tax assets, property, plant and equipment and other assets not directly related to the Company’s refinery and logistic operations. Disclosures regarding the Company’s reportable segments with reconciliations to consolidated totals for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 are presented below. In connection with the contribution by PBF LLC of the limited liability interests of the Development Assets to PBFX, the accompanying segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the Development Assets in the Logistics segment for all periods presented prior to such contribution. Additionally, in connection with the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the accompanying segment information has been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented, to reflect the reclassification of certain net periodic benefit costs from Operating expenses and General and administrative expenses to Other income (expense).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The tables below present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 . We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. We have posted cash margin with various counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The cash margin posted is required by counterparties as collateral deposits and cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018 Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Gross Fair Value Effect of Counter-party Netting Net Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Assets: Money market funds $ 16,702 $ — $ — $ 16,702 N/A $ 16,702 Commodity contracts 1,230 8,872 10,102 (2,895 ) 7,207 Derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations — 24,069 — 24,069 — 24,069 Liabilities: Commodity contracts 2,685 210 — 2,895 (2,895 ) — Catalyst lease obligations — 44,353 — 44,353 — 44,353 As of December 31, 2017 Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Gross Fair Value Effect of Counter-party Netting Net Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Assets: Money market funds $ 4,730 $ — $ — $ 4,730 N/A $ 4,730 Commodity contracts 10,031 357 — 10,388 (10,388 ) — Liabilities: Commodity contracts 51,673 33,035 — 84,708 (10,388 ) 74,320 Catalyst lease obligations — 59,048 — 59,048 — 59,048 Derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations — 7,721 — 7,721 — 7,721 The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows: • Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents. • The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets. • The commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps were derived using broker quotes, prices from other third-party sources and other available market based data. • The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst lease obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets. Non-qualified pension plan assets are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , $9,694 and $9,593 , respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets. The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements of commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ — $ (84 ) Purchases — — Settlements — 45 Unrealized gain (loss) included in earnings — 39 Transfers into Level 3 — — Transfers out of Level 3 — — Balance at end of period $ — $ — There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates. (c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst. During 2017 Delaware City Refining entered into two platinum bridge leases which were settled during the second quarter of 2018. During 2018 Delaware City Refining, Toledo Refining and Chalmette Refining entered into three new platinum bridge leases which will expire in 2019. The bridge leases are payable at maturity and are not anticipated to be renewed. The total outstanding balance related to these bridge leases as of December 31, 2018 was $2,378 and is included in Current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. (d) On October 1, 2018, PBFX borrowed $75,000 to fund the East Coast Storage Acquisition. Refer to “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP” for more details.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES	DERIVATIVES The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreements that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying intermediates and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories. As of December 31, 2018 , there were 3,350,166 barrels of intermediates and refined products ( 3,000,142 barrels at December 31, 2017 ) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract. The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of December 31, 2018 , there were 5,801,000 barrels of crude oil and 1,609,000 barrels of refined products ( 22,348,000 and 1,989,000 , respectively, as of December 31, 2017 ), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Cost Classification Policy [Text Block]	Cost Classifications Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PBF Energy and subsidiaries in which PBF Energy has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassification Certain amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications include certain details about the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-07, further explained below, under Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. The Company does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates. Some of the Company’s investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and is measured using Level 1 inputs (as defined below). The marketable securities were fully liquidated as of December 31, 2017 and the PBFX Term Loan (as defined in “Note 9 - Credit Facility and Debt”) that they collateralized was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2017.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk For the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 .
Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable	Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recognized revenue from customers when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been rendered, (iii) the buyer’s price was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which the service was rendered or product delivered were recorded as deferred revenue. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, as defined below under “Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance”. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 18 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606. On May 4, 2017 and September 8, 2017, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the inventory intermediation agreements (as amended, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the terms. As a result of the amendments (i) the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC relating to the Paulsboro refinery extends the term to December 31, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2020 and (ii) the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR relating to the Delaware City refinery extends the term to July 1, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to July 1, 2020. Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the “Products”) produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the “Refineries”), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the Refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to the Refineries as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries’ tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily market prices related to those products. These transactions are considered to be made in contemplation of each other and, accordingly, do not result in the recognition of a sale when title passes from the refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the Products independently to third parties.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, if required, to report such amounts at their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2018 and 2017 .
Excise Taxes	Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis.
Inventory	Inventory Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the preliminary, pre-acquisition and development/construction stages of a major construction project. The Company capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects based on the effective interest rate of total borrowings. The Company also capitalizes costs incurred in the acquisition and development of software for internal use, including the costs of software, materials, consultants and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in the application development stage. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Process units and equipment 5-25 years Pipeline and equipment 5-25 years Buildings 25 years Computers, furniture and fixtures 3-7 years Leasehold improvements 20 years Railcars 50 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized.
Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net	Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs (generally 3 to 5 years). Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets as indicators of impairment develop. Deferred financing costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 years ).
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets	Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits, permits and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years ).
Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles	Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value. Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Although management utilizes assumptions that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinery sites when it permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinable.
Environmental Matters	Environmental Matters Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable. The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by the Company to certain employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur. Additionally, stock-based compensation includes unit-based compensation provided to certain officers, non-employee directors and seconded employees of PBFX’s general partner, PBF GP, or its affiliates, consisting of PBFX phantom units. The fair value of PBFX’s phantom units are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying common units on the date of grant based on the common unit closing price on the grant date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Awards vest over a four year service period. The phantom unit awards may be settled in common units, cash or a combination of both. Expenses related to unit-based compensation are also included in General and administrative expenses with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur. Beginning in 2018, PBF Energy granted performance share awards and performance unit awards to certain officers of the Company. Both types of awards have a three -year performance cycle and the payout for each, which ranges from 0% to 200% , is based on the relative ranking of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share and performance unit awards are each measured at fair value based on Monte Carlo simulation models. The performance share awards will be settled in PBF Energy Class A common stock and are accounted for as equity awards and the performance unit awards will be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes As a result of the PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock, PBF Energy expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions reflecting the step up in tax basis in the acquired assets. Those deductions will be allocated to PBF Energy and will be taken into account in reporting PBF Energy’s taxable income. As a result of a federal income tax election made by PBF LLC, applicable to a portion of PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units, the income tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC, underlying a portion of the units PBF Energy acquired, has been adjusted based upon the amount that PBF Energy paid for that portion of its PBF LLC Series A Units. PBF Energy entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in “Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies”) which provides for the payment by PBF Energy equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of these transactions, PBF Energy’s tax basis in its share of PBF LLC’s assets will be higher than the book basis of these same assets. This resulted in a deferred tax asset of $306,231 as of December 31, 2018 , of which the majority is expected to be realized over 10 years as the tax basis of these assets is amortized. Deferred taxes are provided using a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences represent the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. PBF Energy recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the reduction of the corporate federal tax rate to 21% as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets associated with the payments made or expected to be made related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability were also reduced. The Federal tax returns for all years since 2015 and state tax returns for all years since 2013 to 2016 (see “Note 19 - Income Taxes”) are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders, adjusted for the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the assumed income tax expense thereon, by the weighted average number of PBF Energy Class A common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to include the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A units outstanding for PBF Energy Class A common stock, if applicable under the if converted method, and the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding options to purchase shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, performance share awards and options and warrants to purchase PBF LLC Series A Units, subject to forfeiture utilizing the treasury stock method.
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits	Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded status of its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabilities or assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs.
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst lease obligation and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold. The accounting treatment for commodity contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative. All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities. The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities. Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in cost of sales. Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. See “Note 18 - Revenues” for further details. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which provides guidance to improve the reporting of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. Under the new guidance, employers present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Additionally, under this guidance, employers will present the other non-service components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The guidance includes a practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan note to the financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018 and applied the new guidance retrospectively in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Income and expense amounts related to non-service components of net periodic benefit cost, historically recorded within Operating expenses and General and administrative expenses, have been recorded within Other income (expense). For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded income of $1,109 , expense of $1,402 and expense of $580 , respectively, related to the non-service components of net periodic benefit cost. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to increase clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the existing accounting guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. Additional ASUs have been issued subsequent to ASU 2016-02 to provide supplementary clarification and implementation guidance for leases related to, among other things, the application of certain practical expedients, the rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments (collectively, the Company refers to ASU 2016-02 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Lease Guidance”). The Updated Lease Guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company has adopted the Updated Lease Guidance effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach whereby a cumulative effect adjustment will be recognized upon adoption and the Updated Lease Guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company has completed its evaluation of the provisions of the Updated Lease Guidance, including the adoption of certain practical expedients allowed. The significant practical expedients adopted include the following: • The Company elected the practical expedient to apply the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption and not restate comparative periods; • The Company elected to utilize the “package of three” expedients, as defined in the Updated Lease Guidance, whereby it did not reassess whether contracts existing prior to the effective date contain leases, nor did it reassess lease classification determinations nor whether initial direct costs qualify for capitalization; • The Company elected the practical expedient to not capitalize any leases with initial terms of less than twelve months on its consolidated balance sheet; • The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components; and • The Company elected the practical expedient to continue to account for land easements (also known as “rights of way”) that were not previously accounted for as leases consistent with prior accounting until such contracts are modified or replaced, at which time they would be assessed for lease classification under the Updated Lease Guidance. The Company has successfully completed the implementation of a lease software system and has refined business processes and controls to address the new standard. The Company is currently developing its lease disclosures and enhancing its accounting systems to enable the preparation of such disclosures beginning with its quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2019. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of the Updated Lease Guidance is estimated to result in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of approximately $225,000 to $275,000 . Subsequent to adoption, the Company does not anticipate the impact on its results and cash flows to be material. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The amendments in ASU 2017-12 more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments expand the ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components, reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, eliminate the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, and eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 also provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to be modified. The presentation and disclosure requirements of ASU 2017-12 should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Targeted Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based transactions will be measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions. In addition, ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that any share-based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)”, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities and for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021, for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Schedule of stockholders equity	STOCKHOLDERS’ AND MEMBERS’ EQUITY STRUCTURE PBF Energy Capital Structure Class A Common Stock Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon the Company’s dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Class B Common Stock Holders of shares of Class B common stock are entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each PBF LLC Series A Unit beneficially owned by such holder. Accordingly, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy collectively have a number of votes in PBF Energy that is equal to the aggregate number of PBF LLC Series A Units that they hold. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Holders of Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of PBF Energy. Preferred Stock Authorized preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with designations, powers and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. PBF LLC Capital Structure PBF LLC Series A Units The allocation of profits and losses and distributions to PBF LLC Series A unitholders is governed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of PBF LLC. These allocations are made on a pro rata basis with PBF LLC Series C Units. PBF LLC Series A unitholders do not have voting rights. PBF LLC Series B Units The PBF LLC Series B Units are intended to be “profit interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 of the Internal Revenue Service and have a stated value of zero at issuance. The PBF LLC Series B Units are held by certain of the Company’s current and former officers, have no voting rights and are designed to increase in value only after the Company’s financial sponsors achieve certain levels of return on their investment in PBF LLC Series A Units. Accordingly, the amounts paid to the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, if any, will reduce only the amounts otherwise payable to the PBF LLC Series A Units held by the Company’s financial sponsors, and will not reduce or otherwise impact any amounts payable to PBF Energy (the holder of PBF LLC Series C Units), the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock or any other holder of PBF LLC Series A Units. The maximum number of PBF LLC Series B Units authorized to be issued is 1,000,000 . PBF LLC Series C Units The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on a parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. PBF LLC Series C Units are held solely by PBF Energy. Treasury Stock The Company’s Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $300,000 of the PBF Energy Class A common stock (as amended from time to time, the “Repurchase Program”). From the inception of the Repurchase Program through its expiration date, the Company has purchased approximately 6,050,717 shares of the PBF Energy Class A common stock through open market transactions under the Repurchase Program, for a total of $150,804 . The Repurchase Program expired on September 30, 2018 and was not renewed. These repurchases were made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased depended on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. The Company was not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases might have been suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

The net income attributable to PBF Energy, used in the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the net income, as well as the corresponding income tax (based on a 26.0% , 39.6% and 39.1% annualized statutory corporate tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 ) attributable to the converted units.

Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options and warrants to purchase 1,293,242 , 6,820,275 and 5,701,750 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Schedule of Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring Basis	The tables below present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 . We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. We have posted cash margin with various counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The cash margin posted is required by counterparties as collateral deposits and cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the consolidated balance sheet.

(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates. (c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst. During 2017 Delaware City Refining entered into two platinum bridge leases which were settled during the second quarter of 2018. During 2018 Delaware City Refining, Toledo Refining and Chalmette Refining entered into three new platinum bridge leases which will expire in 2019. The bridge leases are payable at maturity and are not anticipated to be renewed. The total outstanding balance related to these bridge leases as of December 31, 2018 was $2,378 and is included in Current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

[1]	Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst. During 2017 Delaware City Refining entered into two platinum bridge leases which were settled during the second quarter of 2018. During 2018 Delaware City Refining, Toledo Refining and Chalmette Refining entered into three new platinum bridge leases which will expire in 2019. The bridge leases are payable at maturity and are not anticipated to be renewed. The total outstanding balance related to these bridge leases as of December 31, 2018 was $2,378 and is included in Current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
[2]	The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the Senior Notes and PBFX 2023 Senior Notes.
[3]	(e) As discussed in “Note 9 - Credit Facility and Debt”, these notes became unsecured following the Collateral Fall-Away Event on May 30, 2017.
[4]	The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.
[5]	(d) On October 1, 2018, PBFX borrowed $75,000 to fund the East Coast Storage Acquisition. Refer to “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP” for more details.
