CVR Energy, an independent refiner of transportation fuels and producer of ammonia and urea ammonia nitrate (UAN) fertilizers, filed to go public on Tuesday. The Sugar Land, TX based company once operated as a subsidiary of Farmland Industries and was taken over by Goldman Sachs and Kelso & Company in June 2005. CVR has yet to announce terms and timing for its IPO, and it has yet to select a ticker symbol and a set of underwriters.
