Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	pipeline	Cushing Pipeline Interconnect Ponca City is described as directly connected to the Cushing, OK hub. Most crude is received by pipeline from the Gulf Coast, Oklahoma, Texas and Canada (delivered via Cushing), plus foreign crude purchased into the Gulf Coast and piped inland. An Oklahoma DEQ air permit memorandum from 2020 says about 99% of the crude processed at the refinery arrives by pipeline.	Cushing, OK	crude	source
crude in	pipeline	Magellan crude pipelines (Mississippian Lime) In 2013 Phillips 66 described an arrangement to move Mississippian Lime crude on Magellan pipelines near the refinery, about 20,000 bpd. It also said it was investing in its own Oklahoma transport assets to bring a further 40,000 bpd of Mississippian Lime crude to Ponca City. Whether the Magellan movement still runs is not established.	Mississippian Lime play, northern Oklahoma	crude	source

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.
