Our History

Sunoco Logistics is a Master Limited Partnership formed by Sunoco, Inc., to acquire, own, and operate a geographically diverse group of crude oil and refined product pipelines, terminalling, and storage facilities. As a part of Sunoco, Inc., we have over 115 years experience in transporting, terminalling, and storage services. Our business is made up of three segments: the Eastern Pipeline System, the Terminal Facilities, and the Western Pipeline System. You can learn more about them in our Business Lines section of this website.

On February 8, 2002, we completed our initial public offering of 5.75 million common units at a price of $20.25 per unit. The units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SXL". Check out our press releases section for ongoing updates, or review our financial results for more information.

What We Do

Sunoco Logistics transports, terminals, and stores refined products and crude oil in 12 states. See a map here. We generate revenues by charging tariffs on crude oil and refined products transported through our pipelines and by charging storage and processing fees at our terminals. Sunoco Logistics also purchases crude oil for sale to refineries operated by Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc., through which Sunoco, Inc. conducts its refining and marketing operations, and to other customers through our crude oil acquisition and marketing group. It should be noted that we do not trade crude oil or refined products, nor do we speculate in the energy market.
