## Crude supply
- pipeline: Cushing Pipeline Interconnect — HF Sinclair states its Mid-Continent refineries (El Dorado and Tulsa) are connected by pipeline to the Cushing, OK hub; El Dorado is about 125 miles from Cushing and has direct access to Cushing crude, including Canadian-origin barrels reaching Cushing.

## Product outlets
- pipeline: NuStar Pipeline Operating Partnership L.P. — Ships product to the northern Plains states.
- pipeline: Magellan Midstream — Two Magellan routes: a 'mountain' pipeline to Denver, CO and a mid-continent pipeline to the Plains states.
- truck_rack: HollyFrontier El Dorado Refinery — Refinery-direct truck rack; self-evident for an operating refinery of this scale.
- pipeline: NuStar Energy - El Dorado Station — Consistent with the NuStar pipeline connection above; likely the same physical NuStar interconnect represented as a terminal node.
