What Delek Logistics Partners does

Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) is a publicly traded master limited partnership formed in 2012 by Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK) to own, operate, acquire, and develop logistics and marketing assets for crude oil, intermediate, and refined petroleum products. The company is headquartered in Plano, Texas, and serves two principal customer cohorts: its sponsor Delek US Holdings (which operates refineries in Tyler, TX; El Dorado, AR; Big Spring, TX; and Krotz Springs, LA) and a growing base of third-party crude, natural gas, and water producers concentrated in the Permian Basin, Delaware Basin, and Gulf Coast.

The company's infrastructure portfolio includes approximately 1,028 miles of crude and refined product pipelines, eight light product distribution terminals, approximately 1,479,430 Bbls/d of produced water disposal capacity, and approximately 172+ MMcf/d of natural gas processing capacity, anchored by the Libby Gas Processing Complex in Lea County, NM. Through acquisitions of 3Bear Energy (Delaware Basin, 2021), H2O Midstream (2024), and Gravity Water Midstream (January 2025), DKL has built an integrated midstream platform spanning crude gathering and transportation, natural gas gathering and processing, refined product storage and distribution, and produced water gathering and disposal. Equity-method joint venture interests in the Wink to Webster (W2W) and Red River pipelines supplement owned assets.

DKL generates revenue primarily through long-term fee-based contracts — including take-or-pay agreements with minimum volume commitments — across gathering and processing fees, storage and terminalling services, wholesale marketing of refined products, and joint-venture pipeline income. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting upstream producers and downstream refiners, with revenue mix shifting toward approximately 80% third-party EBITDA contribution on a pro-forma basis. The partnership has declared 53 consecutive quarterly distribution increases and targets an investment-grade-style MLP cash distribution model, supported by FY2025 revenue of $1,013.3M and record Adjusted EBITDA of $535.6M.

Direct peers

• MPLX LP: MPLX is a publicly traded MLP focused on midstream energy logistics, with major crude oil, natural gas, and NGL pipeline/gathering systems concentrated in the Permian Basin. It is a directly comparable midstream platform with similar Permian exposure, fee-based revenue model, and parent sponsorship structure (Marathon Petroleum).
• Western Midstream Partners: Western Midstream Partners is a Permian-focused midstream MLP with crude oil gathering, natural gas processing, and water disposal assets in the Delaware Basin. Highly comparable to DKL given its concentrated Permian/Delaware Basin footprint and similar water management and gas processing service mix.
• Plains All American Pipeline: Plains All American operates an extensive crude oil pipeline, gathering, and terminalling network across major U.S. producing basins. It competes directly with DKL in crude oil gathering and transportation, and offers overlapping Permian and Gulf Coast midstream services.
• Targa Resources Corp. Targa Resources is a leading Permian-focused midstream company with major natural gas gathering and processing operations and NGL transportation. Directly comparable to DKL's Delaware Basin gas processing and gathering business, particularly the Libby complex.
• Genesis Energy LP: Genesis Energy is a diversified midstream MLP with Gulf Coast crude oil pipelines, terminals, and offshore pipeline operations. Comparable to DKL in Gulf Coast terminalling, crude oil distribution, and integrated midstream service offering, though with different basin emphasis.
• NuStar Energy L.P. NuStar Energy operates crude oil and refined product pipelines and terminals across the U.S., with notable Gulf Coast and Texas operations. It overlaps with DKL's refined product storage and distribution and crude oil logistics businesses.
• Sunoco LP: Sunoco LP is a master limited partnership focused on fuel distribution, terminalling, and midstream logistics across the U.S. Its refined product terminalling, storage, and wholesale fuel distribution business is directly comparable to DKL's 8 light product distribution terminals and wholesale marketing segment.

Broad incumbents

• Enterprise Products Partners: Enterprise Products Partners is one of the largest publicly traded MLPs with a diversified midstream portfolio spanning natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, and petrochemical pipelines. It is a broader incumbent overlapping DKL in crude oil logistics, gas processing, and Gulf Coast terminalling, but at significantly greater scale.
• Energy Transfer LP: Energy Transfer operates an extensive network of pipelines, terminals, and processing assets across crude oil, natural gas, NGLs, and refined products throughout the U.S. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping Permian gathering, processing, and Gulf Coast midstream capabilities, though at much larger scale.
• HF Sinclair (formerly HollyFrontier / Holly Energy Partners): HF Sinclair (formerly HollyFrontier) integrated the Holly Energy Partners MLP into the parent C-corp in 2024, providing a comparable reference point as a refining-integrated midstream platform. Like DKL, the assets support refining operations while serving third-party customers in similar geographies.
