Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | marine | Ribost Marine Terminal (affiliate) Ribost Marine Terminal LLC is a ~500,000-bbl marine storage and transfer terminal in Long Beach Harbor operated as a World Oil Corp affiliate; it is the logical marine receipt point for crude/feedstock destined for the South Gate plant, but no source explicitly states the refinery-to-terminal pipeline connection, so this is an inference from corporate-family structure. |
Long Beach Harbor | crude | source |
| crude in | truck | Pan Pacific Petroleum Co. (affiliate trucking) Affiliate trucking company hauling from Bakersfield and South Gate; likely used for feedstock and/or recycled-oil supply given the plant processes heavy crude and recycled feedstocks. Inference, not directly documented as a refinery inbound route. |
Bakersfield, CA | crude | source |
| products out | rail | D/K Environmental (affiliate railcar facility) Affiliate railcar loading/transfer facility in Vernon; plausible outbound route for asphalt/byproducts but not directly confirmed as a South Gate refinery product route. |
Vernon, CA | asphalt roofing flux | source |
| products out | truck rack | Refinery truck rack (South Gate) Asphalt and specialty-products refineries of this size and configuration typically distribute almost entirely by truck rack; no explicit truck-rack citation was found beyond general product listings. |

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.
