What Delek Logistics Partners LP does

Midstream MLP operating pipelines, storage and water-gathering assets, mainly supporting parent Delek US refineries.

Charges fees for moving and storing barrels under long-term contracts, many with minimum volume commitments, so income rests on contracted throughput rather than oil prices; the parent's refineries are the biggest customer. Delek US also owns the general partner and most units, and has sold assets to the partnership over time.

Products and services

  • Crude oil gathering/pipelines
  • Refined product pipelines & terminals
  • Produced water gathering/recycling (Permian)

Customers

  • Delek US Holdings (majority customer)
  • Third-party Permian producers

  • Energy
  • Midstream
  • Crude/refined product pipelines & water…

What could go right

  • Permian water gathering growth
  • Drop-down acquisitions from Delek US

What could go wrong

  • Concentration risk with parent Delek US
  • Permian drilling activity cyclicality

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, switching costs). Long-term contracts with parent Delek US anchor stable fee-based cash flow.
