Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | EMPCo Northline System ("Northline System") Delek's 10-K: delivers LLS, HLS and foreign crude oil from the St. James, LA terminalling complex to Krotz Springs. |

| crude in | pipeline | Anchorage Pipeline 10-K: 'The Anchorage Pipeline connects the Krotz Springs refinery to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area.' Not currently represented in the graph's edge list for this refinery. |
Baton Rouge, LA area | crude | source |
| crude in | marine | Gulf Intracoastal Waterway / Atchafalaya River barge 10-K: WTI crude moves via the Energy Transfer Amdel pipeline to Nederland, TX, then is barged to Krotz Springs via the Intracoastal Canal and Atchafalaya River -- the pipeline itself stops at Nederland; the final leg into the refinery is by BARGE, not pipeline. The refinery also receives ~20% of its crude by barge/truck from inland Louisiana and Mississippi sources. |
Nederland, TX terminal (WTI Permian crude staged there) | crude | source |
| products out | pipeline | Colonial Pipeline Reference source states the refinery 'offers direct access to the Colonial Oil Products Pipeline.' |
not specified | gasoline distillate | source |
| products out | marine | Atchafalaya River / Mississippi River barge A terminal directory lists the Delek Krotz Springs terminal as pipeline- and truck-served, 'inbound and outbound'; barge egress via the Atchafalaya River is consistent with the site's known logistics but not itemized in the sources reviewed. |

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
