Rail
Supporting our North American Refineries and Ethanol Plants
We use approximately 12,000 owned or leased rail cars to transport raw materials and finished products. Rail supports our business lines including all transportation fuels, liquefied petroleum gas, asphalt, fuel oil, sulfur, aromatics and other specialty products.
Marine
Global operations over oceans and rivers
We contract with entities to use barges and ocean-going ships to transport raw materials to our refineries, and deliver finished products to our customers after an extensive vetting process to ensure safe operations.
We actively charter equipment on both a spot and term basis, using both American-flag and foreign-flag ocean-going vessels
Pipeline
Delivering products across the country
We ship crude oil from the wellhead to our refineries and storage terminals and transport finished products like gasoline via pipelines.
Truck
End-to-End Service
We use shippers to deliver raw materials to our operations and finished fuel products to our customers to ensure they receive the type and amount of liquid product they want, where and when they want it, and efficiently, safely and cost-effectively.
Safe Operations
We are committed to safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operations. By continually reviewing safety issues and working with transportation partners with excellent safety records, we work hard to keep our communities, employees and environment safe while transporting crude oil and refined fuel and other products around the world.
