Network footprint
The network spans strategic energy locations from North America through Europe and the Middle East to established Asian markets, creating a geographic framework for international energy logistics and market connectivity.
Storage, transfer and connectivity are essential to the movement of energy across supply chains.
Storage infrastructure
Storage lets crude arriving on one pipeline wait for space on the next. At Patoka, tank farms owned by several companies sit beside the pipelines they serve, spread across open farmland in Marion County.
Energy movement
Energy infrastructure is a connected system. Supply moves through pipelines, terminals, storage facilities, transport networks and trading hubs before reaching its next destination.
Energy products enter a connected infrastructure system through pipelines, terminals, marine facilities, road networks and other established supply routes.
Regional connection Infrastructure links production areas with storage facilities, trading centres and downstream markets.
Volumes and product characteristics are monitored as energy moves between infrastructure systems, supporting operational control, commercial settlement and efficient transfer.
Operational control Measurement and monitoring help maintain consistency as products move between suppliers, terminals and markets.
Storage provides flexibility within the energy supply chain, allowing products to be held, managed and scheduled according to supply, demand and market requirements.
Infrastructure flexibility Strategic storage can connect incoming supply with future transportation, processing and trading requirements.
Pumps, pipelines, manifolds and transfer systems move products from storage into the next stage of the supply chain.
Connected infrastructure Transfer systems provide the physical link between terminals, transportation networks and downstream destinations.
Energy ultimately moves toward refineries, industrial users, distribution networks, export facilities and international trading markets.
Global reach Patoka's strategic network spans Patoka, Houston / Gulf Coast, Rotterdam, Fujairah, Singapore, Malaysia and China.
Terminal operations
Efficient energy infrastructure depends on the controlled movement of products between receiving systems, storage facilities, transportation networks and downstream markets.
Energy products enter terminal systems through established pipelines, marine facilities, road networks and other transportation connections.
Storage facilities provide controlled holding capacity between incoming supply and outbound transportation, supporting operational flexibility and market requirements.
Pumps, valves, manifolds and connected transportation systems allow products to move efficiently from storage toward their next destination.
Terminal operations connect physical infrastructure with regional and international markets, supporting producers, traders, refiners and industrial energy users.
Products
Patoka's wider infrastructure and market network is positioned around the movement, storage and distribution of energy products serving regional and international markets.
Product handling varies by terminal, market and infrastructure capability. The network encompasses crude oil, refined products, liquid petroleum gases, middle distillates, fuel components and other energy products.
| Product category | Examples | Network role |
|---|---|---|
| Crude Oil | Crude oil and regional crude streams | Storage, transfer and connection to downstream markets |
| Refined Products | Gasoline, diesel and other finished petroleum products | Storage, distribution and market supply |
| LPG | Liquefied petroleum gas | Bulk storage, transfer and regional distribution |
| Naphtha | Light petroleum feedstocks and blending components | Storage, handling and connection to industrial markets |
| Middle Distillates | Diesel, gasoil and related distillate products | Storage, distribution and international trading |
| Fuel Oil | Heavy fuel oil and related residual products | Bulk storage, transfer and marine or industrial supply |
| Jet Fuel | Aviation turbine fuel | Storage, distribution and market connectivity |
| Renewable Energy Products | Renewable fuels and emerging lower-carbon energy products | Developing energy transition and market opportunities |
Safety
Safe and reliable energy infrastructure depends on disciplined operating procedures, asset integrity, environmental controls and effective emergency preparedness.
Operational integrity
Safety considerations extend across receiving, storage, transfer, transportation and maintenance activities, with procedures designed around the characteristics of each facility, product and operating environment.
Asset integrity
Equipment, pipelines, tanks, valves and transfer systems require structured inspection and maintenance programs to support safe, reliable and continuous operations.
Process safety
Operating procedures, monitoring systems and defined controls help manage operational risks across terminal and transportation activities.
Environment
Environmental controls support responsible handling of energy products and help reduce the potential impact of terminal, transportation and storage activities.
Emergency readiness
Emergency procedures, personnel training, communication and response planning form an important part of responsible energy infrastructure management.
