Sinclair Oil Mexico Termi is a refined product pipeline facility located at 11921 HWY 54 East, Mexico, Audrain County, Missouri, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a key node in the regional distribution of refined petroleum products. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. As a refined product pipeline, it transports gasoline, diesel, or other petroleum products, requiring strict safety protocols including cathodic protection and leak detection systems. This pipeline infrastructure supports the energy supply chain in central Missouri, connecting refineries or storage terminals to local markets. Its location near Highway 54 provides logistical access, while proximity to agricultural and residential areas necessitates robust safety measures to protect communities and the environment.

The facility is situated in a rural area near Mexico, Missouri, with surrounding agricultural land and scattered residential developments. Proximity to waterways and groundwater resources requires careful monitoring to prevent spills. The transport of refined products poses risks of soil and water contamination, mitigated by regulatory compliance with PHMSA spill response plans and cathodic protection to prevent corrosion-related leaks.
