Delek Logistics Partners builds and runs the pipelines, trucks and storage sites that carry crude oil and refined fuels from wellhead to market across the country. A large share of this network feeds the Tyler, El Dorado and Big Spring refining operations, and the company also moves and stores barrels on behalf of outside customers. It has become most recognized for the reach of its pipeline grid, covering about 400 miles for hauling crude, close to 450 miles for refined fuels, and nearly 900 miles used to gather crude at the source, plus tank space able to hold roughly 10.2 million barrels.
Its activities fall into three groups: pipeline and transport operations, wholesale marketing and terminal services, and ownership stakes in joint pipeline ventures. The marketing and terminal arm handles bulk shipping, storage and loading of refined fuels for independent buyers outside the company. The joint venture holdings give it a share in separate crude pipeline systems that move product for both third parties and Delek's own affiliated businesses. A general partner, Delek Logistics GP, LLC, oversees the partnership structure.
Founded in 2012, Delek Logistics Partners keeps its headquarters in Brentwood, Tennessee, and functions as a subsidiary within the larger Delek US Holdings group. Its units trade on the NYSE under the ticker DKL.
