Crude slate

Predominantly heavy sour crude from Alberta oil sands (Canada), roughly 80% of feedstock, supplemented by lighter crude arriving from the south.

DirectionModeRoutePoint / originProductsSource
crude in pipeline Enbridge Mainline (Lakehead System)
Enbridge Mainline splits at a junction near Cottage Grove/Clearbrook, MN; one branch (Minnesota Pipe Line) feeds Pine Bend. Roughly 80% of Pine Bend's crude feedstock is heavy Canadian crude arriving via this Enbridge system.		 Alberta oil sands, via Clearbrook, MN crude source
crude in pipeline Minnesota Pipe Line
Minnesota Pipe Line Company (jointly owned by Marathon, Flint Hills Resources and Trof, Inc.) carries crude from Clearbrook south to the Twin Cities, serving both Pine Bend (Flint Hills) and St. Paul Park (Marathon).		 Clearbrook, MN (Enbridge terminus) crude source
crude in pipeline Wood River Pipeline
Wikipedia states this brings additional crude from the south; reported plans (as of source) to reverse its flow direction. Not independently corroborated with a second source in this budget-limited pass.		 south (from the Wood River, IL area) crude source
products out pipeline Magellan Midstream (Minnesota/Upper Midwest system)
State of Minnesota infrastructure documentation and Magellan public materials describe Magellan's refined-products pipeline system serving Minnesota/North Dakota terminals (e.g. Marshall, Watertown) 'from refineries in eastern Minnesota,' consistent with a Pine Bend origin, though no single source gives an explicit Pine Bend-to-Magellan injection point name.		 Rosemount/Pine Bend area gasoline distillate jet fuel source
products out pipeline Dedicated jet fuel pipeline to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)
Wikipedia describes a dedicated pipeline from the refinery to MSP airport for jet fuel.		 Pine Bend refinery jet fuel source
products out pipeline "Wisconsin Pipeline" (distillate products eastward)
Named only generically as 'Wisconsin Pipeline' in Wikipedia; could not confirm the operator/canonical pipeline name in this pass.		 Pine Bend refinery distillate source
products out barge Mississippi River marine terminal
Refinery dredges the Mississippi River to maintain barge navigation for product shipments.		 Pine Bend refinery dock gasoline distillate asphalt source
products out truck rack Flint Hills Pine Bend Refinery truck rack
Distribution 'beyond pipelines' explicitly includes semi-trailer trucks.		 on-site gasoline distillate propane source
products out rail Rail (BNSF / Canadian Pacific serve the Twin Cities refining corridor)
Wikipedia confirms railroad cars as a distribution method; BNSF and Canadian Pacific are the two Class I carriers serving the Rosemount/Inver Grove Heights area, but a source explicitly naming both by name at Pine Bend was not found in this pass.

Pipeline reach

This refinery injects at tariff origin points, but those systems’ rates haven’t been transcribed yet.

Substitutes

Other refineries injecting into the same pipelines — the supply that could backfill an outage here.

Events

No events on record.

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.
