Descriptiontext

Sunoco Logistics Partners is a master limited partnership founded in 2002 that owned and operated midstream logistics assets, principally pipeline transportation of petroleum and jet fuel products. Through its operating entity Sunoco Pipeline LP, the partnership runs the Sunoco Twin Oak-Newark Pipeline — a 100+ mile corridor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Newark, New Jersey — along with associated above-ground storage tanks and bulk petroleum logistics infrastructure serving the northeastern United States. Its core product offering is pipeline-based transportation services for jet fuel and refined petroleum products, with operations extending into Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and surrounding markets.

In November 2016, Sunoco Logistics Partners executed a transformative acquisition of Energy Transfer Partners for approximately $21 billion, consolidating midstream pipeline and logistics assets under a single enterprise. Following this transaction, Sunoco Logistics Partners became a subsidiary under Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET), with Energy Transfer exercising operational control over Sunoco Pipeline LP assets. The current headcount of 5,001-10,000 reflects its position as a sizable enterprise-scale operator within the Energy Transfer portfolio.

The business model operates as a toll-based midstream pipeline carrier generating fees per barrel transported through its pipeline networks for enterprise customers in the energy sector, including refineries, airports, and fuel distributors. Pricing is administered via published tariffs (accessible at Energy Transfer's tariffs page), consistent with regulated common carrier pipeline economics. Recent operating activity has been defined less by growth initiatives and more by regulatory and remediation response to a January 31, 2025 petroleum leak in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania that contaminated seven residential wells, triggering a PHMSA Notice of Proposed Safety Order, a Pennsylvania Attorney General criminal investigation, and Pennsylvania DEP remediation oversight covering 112 affected residences.

The Cool DownPennsylvania neighborhood still waiting for safe water after pipeline leak taints wellsResidents in a Pennsylvania neighborhood continue to face unsafe drinking water months after a January 2025 leak from a decades-old pipeline contaminated private wells with jet fuel. Energy Transfer and its subsidiary Sunoco are leading the investigation and cleanup efforts, which have been criticized by locals for being insufficient and lacking adequate federal oversight. The incident highlights regulatory gaps regarding private wells and has prompted calls for legislative reforms to improve pipeline safety and state enforcement authority.The Philadelphia InquirerBucks County fuel spill victims inspired a federal bill calling for $500M to modernize pipelinesU.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick introduced the Wojnovich Pipeline Safety Act of 2025 (H.R. 6187) on Thursday, with Democratic co-sponsor Rep. Tom Suozzi, to modernize hazardous liquid pipelines following a January 2025 jet fuel leak from Sunoco's Twin Oaks pipeline in Bucks County, Pennsylvania that contaminated local wells. The bill would allocate $500 million in grants over five years to replace or upgrade high-risk pipelines, require pipeline disclosure in real estate contracts within half a mile of easements, and impose penalties of $2.5 million to $5 million for leaks and delayed reporting. The legislation was shaped by the experience of the Wojnovich family, whose well was tainted with 12½ feet of jet fuel after reporting a petroleum odor to Sunoco as early as September 2023, with the leak only confirmed by state environmental officials in late January 2025.The Philadelphia InquirerHow a pipeline leak disrupted a quiet Bucks neighborhood: ‘Never drink the water’A jet fuel pipeline leak from the Twin Oaks Pipeline, owned by Sunoco and its parent company Energy Transfer, contaminated at least six residential water wells in Mount Eyre Manor, Bucks County, Pennsylvania in January 2025, though federal regulators estimate the leak had been seeping undetected for at least 16 months. Energy Transfer has accepted responsibility and implemented remediation measures including recovering 1,027 gallons of fuel, removing 276 tons of contaminated soil, and installing filtration and monitoring systems, while affected residents have filed seven lawsuits including a class action. The contamination has upended residents' daily lives, with most refusing to drink or cook with their well water, and has sparked outrage over pipeline safety and distrust of the company's testing methods.Energy TransferEnergy Transfer Partners Announces Pricing of $2.25 Billion of Senior NotesEnergy Transfer Partners, L.P. announced on September 19, 2017 that it priced $750 million of 4.00% senior notes due 2027 and $1.50 billion of 5.40% notes due 2047 of its subsidiary Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. at 99.216% and 99.806% of face value, respectively. The company expects to use about $2.223 billion to redeem $500 million of its 6.5% notes due 2021, repay revolving credit facility borrowings and fund general partnership purposes. Settlement is expected September 21, 2017.PR NewswirePBF Logistics Increases Quarterly Distribution to $0.46 per Unit and Announces First Quarter 2017 Earnings ResultsPBF Logistics LP reported first quarter 2017 net income of $24.6 million and increased its quarterly cash distribution to $0.46 per common unit, payable on May 31, 2017, marking the partnership's tenth consecutive quarterly distribution increase.
