Crude slate
ExxonMobil says the refinery is supplied by pipeline crude primarily from Texas and Canada, supplemented by waterborne crude from the Persian Gulf, Africa, South America and Mexico. The Enercoast system that feeds the refinery from Webster lists WTI, Gulf of America medium sour and Canadian heavy among its grades.
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Wink to Webster Pipeline The pipeline's own site names Baytown as a destination. The Midland to Webster segment and a connection from Webster to Baytown began commercial service in October 2020. |

| crude in | pipeline | ExxonMobil Pipeline Webster to Baytown 36-inch crude line ExxonMobil Pipeline Company replaced an existing 20-mile crude line between its Webster Station and the Baytown refinery with a 36-inch line. The operator says it supports delivery and takeaway crude service to and from the refinery and ties to Permian Basin production. |

| crude in | pipeline | Enercoast Midstream 16-inch Webster to Baytown crude line About 20 miles of 16-inch pipeline run from Webster Terminal to the Baytown refinery and the Seabrook export terminal. Enercoast is a Sentinel Midstream and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company venture. Webster Terminal receives crude from the 36-inch Wink to Webster pipeline, Genesis, Seaway and an ExxonMobil 24-inch line from Genoa Junction. |

| crude in | pipeline | Enercoast Midstream 20-inch Moore Rd Junction to Baytown crude line About 10 miles of 20-inch pipeline run from Moore Rd Junction to the ExxonMobil Baytown Refinery area. Sentinel Midstream says the line can flow in both directions and is positioned to connect to third-party pipelines, which it does not name. |

| crude in | pipeline | Seaway Pipeline Indirect. Sentinel Midstream lists Seaway among the pipelines that deliver crude into Webster Terminal. Crude reaches the refinery from Webster on the Enercoast 16-inch line. |

| crude in | marine | Houston Ship Channel ExxonMobil says pipeline crude from Texas and Canada is supplemented by crude from around the globe, including the Persian Gulf, Africa, South America and Mexico. The refinery's docks are on the Houston Ship Channel. Which berths take crude is not stated. |

| products out | pipeline | ExxonMobil Pipeline products lines, Baytown to Pasadena Station This is the refinery's own outlet. ExxonMobil Pipeline Company says its Pasadena Station receives product from Baytown 3 Products Station, stores it if necessary, and distributes it to affiliates and locations in the area. ExxonMobil's 2024 fact sheet says 74 percent of refinery output leaves by pipeline. |

| products out | pipeline | Magellan Pipeline Magellan's joint tariff FERC 190.11.0 with ExxonMobil Pipeline Company routes product from Baytown to Pasadena on ExxonMobil Pipeline, then on Magellan from Pasadena Junction to Galena Park Junction and on to the destination. The tariff names the Baytown origin and ExxonMobil Pipeline, not the refinery in words. |

Product moves on ExxonMobil Pipeline to NuStar Baytown Junction, on NuStar to NuStar South Houston Junction, then on ExxonMobil Pipeline to ExxonMobil South Houston Terminal in Harris County (IRS T-76-TX-2812). |

| products out | pipeline | Explorer Pipeline Explorer's 2022 product movement sketch for Pasadena Station shows an origin meter labelled EXXON/MOBIL. ExxonMobil Pipeline Company says its Pasadena Station is fed from Baytown and distributes onward. No single document names the refinery as an Explorer origin, and nothing ties it to Explorer's Mont Belvieu origin. |

NOAA describes a deepwater wharf and two deep-draft piers at the complex where petroleum products and petrochemicals are received and shipped. |

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.
