Crude slate

US-advantaged (Permian/Eagle Ford) domestic crude via Gray Oak plus foreign crude oil via the Freeport deepwater terminal.

Crude in & products out

From refinery research; each row links its source.
DirectionModeRoutePoint / originProductsSource
crude in marine Freeport Harbor / Brazos River Channel
Sweeny receives crude primarily through wholly/jointly owned Gulf Coast terminals including a deepwater terminal at Freeport, Texas.
Waterborne imports and US-advantaged crude crude source
crude in pipeline Gray Oak Pipeline
Phillips 66 Partners built Gray Oak specifically to move Permian/Eagle Ford crude to Gulf Coast destinations 'including the Sweeny Refinery and the Houston market'; began operating late 2019, full service by mid-2020. Not currently listed as a graph edge for this refinery -- worth adding.
Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale crude source
products out pipeline Sweeny to Pasadena Pipeline
This 12-inch, ~294,000-bpd line runs FROM the Sweeny refinery TO the Pasadena terminal -- it is the refinery's primary outbound products route, not an inbound one. Also carries pentanes-plus.
Pasadena products terminal, Harris County, TX gasoline distillate ngl source
products out pipeline Colonial Pipeline
Likely reached indirectly through the Sweeny-to-Pasadena pipeline's injection into the Pasadena hub rather than a direct refinery-gate Colonial connection; not separately confirmed by name within budget.

products out marine Freeport Harbor
Phillips 66's Freeport LPG Export Terminal is built at the site of its existing Freeport marine terminal.

Events

Outages, fires, turnarounds, sales and closures — newest first.
  1. 2026-early outage

    Sweeny refinery returned to normal operations after a process upset affecting the refinery fuel gas system. source

  2. 2026-07 outage

    A sudden power interruption caused a process upset at the 264,500-bpd Sweeny refinery. source

  3. 2025-01 outage

    Phillips 66 shut at least two units at the 265,000-bpd Sweeny refinery due to a power loss. 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.
