HOUSTON (Reuters) -Oil refiner CVR Energy, controlled by billionaire investor Carl Icahn, has submitted a binding offer in an ongoing auction of shares in the parent of Venezuela-owned Citgo Petroleum, according to three people familiar with the matter. CVR operates two U.S. refineries, the 115,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Coffeyville in Kansas, and the 75,000-bpd Wynnewood in Oklahoma. The court has so far accepted bids from CVR, trading house Vitol and others as part of the historic sale process of one of the parents of Citgo, the seventh largest U.S. oil refiner.
