Crude slate
San Joaquin Valley Heavy Naphthenic crude oil exclusively (a distinct heavy, naphthenic-base crude found in Kern County), not a general fuels-refinery slate.
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Local/unnamed San Joaquin Valley crude gathering lines SJR exclusively processes San Joaquin Valley heavy naphthenic crude oil sourced from Kern County fields. No named trunk crude pipeline (e.g. a major interstate system) was identified -- supply is most likely via local field gathering lines given the refinery's small scale and specialty heavy-naphthenic feedstock. Not confirmed as pipeline vs. truck in sources reviewed. |

Events
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.
