Jefferson Refinery LLC operates a multi-modal energy terminal in The Woodlands, Texas, that connects rail, marine, truck, and pipeline networks to move crude and refined products. Originating as the Jefferson Energy Terminal in 2012, the project aimed to link North American crude production with the U.S. Gulf Coast and beyond, with operations starting in fall 2013 and a heavy crude heat‑assist system added in 2014. In the mid‑2010s, planned expansions were pursued to extend services to ethanol and heavy refinery feedstocks, with projects scheduled to complete in the third quarter of 2017. The facility serves refiners and other shippers seeking flexible, multi‑modal logistics for loading and unloading ethanol, fuels, and crude across a spectrum from heavy Canadian bitumen to light condensates, with a highway off-ramp under construction to connect Interstate 10 truck traffic to the terminal. It is directly served by three Class I railroads—UP, BNSF, and KCS—with power‑sharing agreements with CP and CN, and it offers more than 2.1 million barrels of shell storage in service or under construction, with a full buildout potential of about 18 million barrels.
