Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	pipeline	Wink to Webster Pipeline / ExxonMobil Beaumont pipeline EIA/OGJ reporting ties the 2023 crude-unit expansion directly to completion of the Wink to Webster and Beaumont pipelines, positioning the new unit to run segregated Permian light-sweet crude.	Permian Basin (Delaware Basin segregated crude)	crude	source
crude in	pipeline	Nederland Terminal connector pipeline RBN Energy identifies Nederland Terminal as having direct pipeline connections to the ExxonMobil Beaumont refinery in addition to Motiva, Valero, and Total Port Arthur; not a canonical named crude pipeline, treat as a terminal-to-refinery connector.	Nederland Terminal (Sunoco/Energy Transfer), Sabine-Neches waterway	crude	source
crude in	marine	Sabine-Neches Waterway Deepwater channel serving all Beaumont/Port Arthur refineries.	Waterborne imports / domestic marine	crude	source
crude in	pipeline	Enterprise ECHO Terminal (crude) ECHO is Enterprise's Houston-area CRUDE storage terminal (8.3M bbl), described by RBN as connecting to all refiners in Houston, Pasadena, Texas City and Beaumont/Port Arthur via the Seaway system. Graph currently types the Beaumont edge as a 'products_pipeline' which appears to be a type mismatch -- ECHO moves crude, not refined products.

products out	pipeline	Colonial Pipeline Colonial's own tariff filings list Hebert (Beaumont/Port Arthur) as an origin point and state Colonial receives product from refineries located in Beaumont and Port Arthur.	Hebert (Beaumont/Port Arthur origin complex)	gasoline distillate jet fuel	source
products out	pipeline	Explorer Pipeline Explorer Pipeline's own history explicitly lists 'ExxonMobil Refining & Supply Co. (Beaumont)' among refineries it connects to.	Beaumont	gasoline distillate jet fuel	source
products out	pipeline	TEPPCO / Enterprise TE Products Pipeline TE Products Pipeline Co LP historically originates products movements at its Beaumont, TX facility (168,000 bpd diesel / 150,000 bpd gasoline segments referenced in SEC filings/trade press).	Beaumont (TE Products facility)	gasoline distillate	source
products out	pipeline	Centennial Pipeline Centennial's 74-mile, 24-inch line connects TE Products' Beaumont facility to the Longville, LA-to-Bourbon, IL trunk line -- an outbound products connection originating at the Beaumont TE Products facility, not a discrete refinery gate connection confirmed by name.

Events

2026-02-12 outage
Three TIMEC Services contract workers were burned in an incident at the refinery; ExxonMobil said there was no fire. source
2023-03-16 expansion
ExxonMobil commissioned a $2B, 250,000-bpd crude-unit expansion, raising Beaumont's total capacity to ~630,000 bpd -- the largest US refinery expansion since 2012. source

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.
