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
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Pasadena (via Sweeny-to-Pasadena pipeline interconnect) | gasoline distillate | inferred |
| products out | marine | Freeport Harbor Phillips 66's Freeport LPG Export Terminal is built at the site of its existing Freeport marine terminal. |
Refinery/company marine terminal, Freeport, TX | lpg refined products | source |
| products out | truck rack | Phillips 66 Company - Sweeny Refinery-direct truck rack; self-evident for an operating refinery of this scale. |
Refinery site | gasoline distillate | 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.
