Crude slate

Wide variety of crude oils, run in coordination with the Delaware City refinery per PBF's own description; specific named grades not identified in sources reviewed.

Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	marine	Delaware River marine terminal / docks PBF states Paulsboro receives crude oil and feedstocks via its own marine terminal on the Delaware River, and that PBF began barging some Delaware-City-received (rail) crude onward to Paulsboro starting in 2013.	Waterborne crude and feedstock imports; also intercompany barge receipts from PBF's Delaware City refinery (~30 miles north)	crude	source
products out	barge	Delaware River marine terminal / docks PBF confirms marine terminals are used to both receive crude/feedstock and ship/receive finished and intermediate products.	On-site docks	gasoline distillate asphalt	source
products out	pipeline	Buckeye Pipeline Not independently confirmed by name in this pass; regional Buckeye Partners Delaware Valley infrastructure is plausible given several graph rack-terminal edges naming Sunoco Logistics/NuStar/Buckeye-affiliated Paulsboro terminals, but no source explicitly named 'Buckeye Pipeline' for Paulsboro crude/products.	Paulsboro area interconnect	gasoline distillate	inferred
products out	truck rack	Paulsboro Refining Company on-site truck rack Consistent with PBF's description of the refinery's product slate and typical multi-modal distribution.	Refinery gate	gasoline distillate asphalt lube base oils	source

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.
