Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Minnesota Pipe Line Minnesota Pipe Line Company carries crude oil to the Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend refinery and to the St. Paul Park refinery. It is owned by Marathon, Flint Hills Resources and Trof, Inc. and operated by Flint Hills Resources. Enbridge does not deliver at the refinery: its pipelines pass through Clearbrook, and the oil moves from there to the Twin Cities on the four lines of the Minnesota Pipeline. |

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.
