## Crude supply
- pipeline: Canadian crude oil supply (specific pipeline not named in source) — CHS's own site states the Laurel refinery 'relies on crude oil from Canada' but does not name a specific inbound pipeline. The graph's edge label 'Yellowstone Pipeline (crude section)' was not confirmed this session -- general industry/EIA knowledge (unverified here) holds that the Yellowstone Pipeline is a refined-products line rather than a crude line, which would make this edge's naming suspect.

## Product outlets
- pipeline: Yellowstone Pipeline (outbound refined products) — CHS's site states the Laurel refinery 'specializes in maximizing diesel production' and 'distributes products throughout the northern tier of the United States.' A named outbound Yellowstone Pipeline is consistent with this, but the pipeline name itself was not stated on the fetched page -- carried over from the graph and general industry knowledge, not independently re-confirmed.
