Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Cornerstone Pipeline 16-inch, 180,000 bpd Marathon Pipe Line LLC (MPLX)-owned pipeline completed 2016, carrying Utica shale condensate and natural gasoline from Cadiz to a tank farm at East Sparta, then 8 miles to the Canton refinery, feeding the 2014 condensate splitter. |
Cadiz / Harrison County, OH (Utica shale, via MarkWest/MPLX gathering) | crude | source |
| crude in | pipeline | unnamed interstate crude pipeline system (Marathon/MPLX network) Marathon states the refinery receives crude 'through an interstate pipeline system from other regions, including the Gulf Coast and Canada'; no specific named line other than Cornerstone was identified for the heavier crude portion of the slate. |
Gulf Coast and Canada | crude | source |
| crude in | truck | Canton refinery crude truck rack 12,000 bpd crude unloading truck rack completed 2012. |
regional | crude | source |
| products out | pipeline | Marathon Pipe Line (unspecified products line) Marathon's own refinery page states 'Product distribution occurs through pipeline, transport truck and rail' but does not name the specific outbound products pipeline; MPLX (Marathon-affiliated) is the most likely operator of any such line given it also owns the inbound Cornerstone crude/condensate line. |
Canton refinery | gasoline distillate asphalt | source |
| products out | truck rack | Canton refinery truck rack Confirmed truck distribution alongside pipeline and rail. |
Canton refinery | gasoline distillate asphalt propane | source |
| products out | rail | Canton refinery rail Rail distribution confirmed by Marathon's own description; no dedicated rail facility name found. |

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.
