## Crude supply
- 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.

## Product outlets
- pipeline: NuStar Energy 10-inch products pipeline — Serves Jamestown ND, Moorhead MN, Sauk Center MN, and Rosemount MN. Not currently represented as an outbound edge for this node in our graph -- possible gap, not a contradiction of an existing edge.
- rail: BNSF Railway — A dedicated pipe connects the refinery to an on-site BNSF railyard for railcar loading.
- truck_rack: Refinery truck loading rack — Semi-trailer trucks load from on-site racks.
