Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Wink to Webster Pipeline / ExxonMobil Beaumont pipeline The Wink to Webster Texas intrastate tariff (No. 2.12.0, filed August 2026) lists ExxonMobil Beaumont Junction in Harris County as a destination. That is the hand-off near Houston, not the refinery. ExxonMobil said in March 2023 that the refinery is connected to pipelines from its Permian Basin operations and that the Wink to Webster and Beaumont pipelines were complete. |

| crude in | pipeline | Nederland Terminal connector pipeline RBN Energy describes the Nederland Terminal as having direct pipeline connections to the ExxonMobil Beaumont refinery. ETP Crude's Nederland local tariff (TX No. 14.5.0) names only the Motiva and Total refineries as destinations, so this connection rests on RBN alone. |

| products out | pipeline | Colonial Pipeline A FERC order on Colonial (2000) says Colonial receives product at Hebert from refineries located in Beaumont and Port Arthur. The order does not name this refinery, and the line that carries its product to Colonial's Hebert station is not identified. |

| products out | pipeline | TEPPCO / Enterprise TE Products Pipeline Sunoco Pipeline FERC No. 183.20.0 carries product from the ExxonMobil Beaumont Refinery to the TE Products Pipeline Company Beaumont Receiving Station at 6.43 cents a barrel from July 1, 2026. The tariff limits petroleum products to gasoline and distillates. Sunoco's line makes the link, not a direct injection by the refinery. |

| products out | pipeline | Sunoco Pipeline (Energy Transfer) Sunoco Pipeline TX No. 80.12, effective July 1, 2026, carries product from the refinery to the Sunoco Pipeline Hebert Tank Farm and on to the Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals Center and Waskom terminals in East Texas. The same tariff has a terminalling rate into the Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals Hebert truck loading facilities in Jefferson County. |

| products out | pipeline | Jefferson Energy Cross Channel Pipelines Six pipelines between the refinery and the Jefferson Energy terminal were completed in February 2021. The first two in service had capacity of 168,000 barrels a day of diesel and 150,000 barrels a day of gasoline. A July 2021 announcement added five more connecting lines; the lines also move crude between the two sites. |

The table does not list fuel grades. |

| products out | rail | Rail loading at the Jefferson Energy terminal Unit trains of ExxonMobil gasoline and diesel for central Mexico originated at the Jefferson Energy terminal in December 2017. A 2021 announcement says the terminal has six rail loop tracks and is served by BNSF, Kansas City Southern and Union Pacific. Rail at the refinery itself is not established. |

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.
