| crude in | pipeline | Williston Basin gathering network / 16-inch transmission pipeline (formerly Andeavor Logistics) Wikipedia describes a 16-inch transmission pipeline connected to a roughly 750-mile gathering network across western North Dakota delivering sweet Bakken crude to the refinery. This is broadly consistent with the graph's generic edge label 'Bakken Crude Gathering,' though the exact commercial pipeline name was not independently confirmed this session. |

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.
