Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | truck | Purchased crude oil Entered Dec 29, 2023, effective Jan 1, 2024, replacing an earlier crude-supply arrangement. The 8-K does not state the physical delivery mode; contract boilerplate in the earlier 2012 agreement allowed either tank truck or pipeline. No dedicated crude pipeline into Nixon was identified in sources reviewed, and the site is described only as having truck/tank access, so mode is recorded as truck pending confirmation. |

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.
