Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | truck | Crude Oil Contract with MV Purchasing, LLC (MVP) Entered Dec 29, 2023, effective Jan 1, 2024, replacing an earlier crude-supply arrangement (a 2012 SEC exhibit shows a prior agreement referencing a counterparty abbreviated "GEL"). 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. MVP separately contracted with Nixon Product Storage, LLC to store crude at the site. |
Market-purchased crude; MVP supplies up to 100% of the Nixon facility's crude oil capacity | crude | source |
| products out | truck rack | Nixon Product Storage, LLC (NPS) tank farm and loading NPS provides ~1.2 million bbl of tank storage, roughly half used for third-party tolling/terminaling rather than the refinery's own products. No named outbound pipeline was identified; loading appears to be truck-based at the site. |

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.
