crude in pipeline Wasson - Ardmore Crude Pipeline
Sunoco LP lists this line as running 38.48 miles from Wasson Station to the Ardmore Refinery with 90,000 barrels per day of capacity. Valero's May 2025 fact sheet says the plant predominantly receives Permian Basin and Cushing-sourced crude by pipelines.

products out pipeline Magellan Pipeline
Magellan does not connect at the refinery. Magellan's joint tariff FERC No. 197.9.0, effective July 2026, moves product on Valero Partners Wynnewood, LLC from Ardmore, OK to the interconnection at Wynnewood, OK, and from there on Magellan to its destinations. Valero's March 2020 fact sheet said products also move by railcar and tank truck.

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.
