    Houston Petroleum Hub: How to Source from Gulf Coast Refineries

    The US Gulf Coast (PADD 3) accounts for ~50% of US refining capacity. Major refining clusters:

    • Houston / Pasadena
    • Texas City
    • Beaumont / Port Arthur
    • Lake Charles / Baton Rouge

    Term contracts dominate; spot cargoes lift through Magellan and Enterprise terminal systems.
