Capability
Crude distillation 60,000 bpd operable, 60,000 operating (EIA-820, as of 2026-01-01). Downstream units below, barrels per calendar day.
Crude slate
Eagle Ford condensate/light crude, per the facility's original design intent as a condensate splitter tied to a tolling agreement. Could not independently confirm any Permian-origin crude slate this session.
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Buckeye Eagle Ford gathering system (field gathering facilities acquired with the 2014 Corpus Christi terminal deal) The 2014 acquisition press release describes 'three field gathering facilities with associated storage and pipeline connectivity' feeding Eagle Ford crude/condensate directly to the Corpus Christi terminal/splitter complex. This is the only crude/condensate supply route independently confirmed this session; it is NOT one of the canonical long-haul Permian pipelines listed in our graph. |

| crude in | pipeline | Corpus Christi Refinery Crude Pipeline (Oakville) Operated by Sunoco LP, formerly NuStar. Sunoco LP's pipeline page lists Buckeye as one of the terminations of this crude line. The page does not say whether the delivery point is the splitter site or the Buckeye Texas Hub terminal. |
Oakville Terminal | crude | source |
| crude in | marine | Corpus Christi Ship Channel deep-water docks (Buckeye Texas Hub) The Hub was built with 'five vessel berths including three deep-water docks'; plausible for both inbound and outbound movements, but not confirmed this session as an inbound crude source specifically. |
waterborne imports/transfers | crude | source |
| products out | terminal | Buckeye Texas Hub (IRS T-76-TX-2838) The splitter's main outlet is a transfer to its sister terminal, Buckeye Texas Hub. Texas Railroad Commission reports for February 2023, October 2024 and February 2025 show all the naphtha, kerosene and residual fuel (tower bottoms) and most of the middle distillate delivered to the Hub, with naphtha the largest stream at about 1,000,000 bbl in February 2025. The reports do not state how product moves between the two sites. Product tankage at the splitter on the same form is 1,266,223 bbl. |

| products out | truck rack | Buckeye Texas Processing rack (IRS T-76-TX-2844) The IRS terminal list carries a terminal in the splitter's own name at this address, separate from the Buckeye Texas Hub record. No document describes the rack's bays or the products it loads. |
1501 Southern Minerals Road, Corpus Christi 78409 | source | |
| products out | marine | Corpus Christi Ship Channel deep-water docks (Buckeye Texas Hub) Ships and barges load at the Buckeye Texas Hub terminal, which receives the splitter's product. The 2014 announcement described the Hub with 5.6 million bbl of storage and three deep-water docks. Which berth loads which splitter product is not stated. |

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.
