Production capacity
Crude slate
Mixed waterborne/imported crude plus domestic rail-delivered crude (Bakken/Mid-Continent light, per the 2014 Bridger LLC agreement covering about one-third of throughput).
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | marine | Delaware River marine terminal / docks Trainer sits on the Delaware River roughly 15 miles southwest of Philadelphia; the site's historic role (originally Sinclair/Atlantic-Richfield/BP, later Tosco/ConocoPhillips) has always depended on Delaware River deepwater access for crude receipt. Matches graph edge #4804. |
Waterborne crude imports and coastal/intercompany receipts | crude | source |
| crude in | rail | Rail-delivered domestic crude (Bridger LLC supply agreement) Bridger LLC is a crude-by-rail logistics company; this agreement is consistent with the graph's rail_yard edge, though the source does not name the specific rail carrier (Norfolk Southern) shown in graph edge #4805. |
Domestic (Bakken/Mid-Continent) crude supplied under a July 2014 five-year agreement with Bridger LLC, ~65,000 bpd (about one-third of throughput) | crude | source |
| products out | pipeline | Buckeye Pipeline (assumed; not independently confirmed by name) No source retrieved this session names Buckeye Pipeline specifically as Trainer's outbound products carrier; it is plausible given the same Buckeye/Sunoco Delaware Valley regional infrastructure implicated at the nearby Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries, but treat as inference, not confirmed fact. |
Not specified | gasoline distillate | inferred |
| products out | truck rack | Monroe Energy on-site truck rack (Trainer refinery) Refinery produces jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and home heating oil per Wikipedia; an on-site truck rack is a standard feature of an operating fuels refinery of this size, though not explicitly documented by name in sources reviewed. |

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.
