Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. Evaluates Impacts of Sunoco Inc.'s Decision to Idle Eagle Point Refinery

Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. announced today that it is evaluating the impacts, if any, of Sunoco Inc.'s decision to idle its Eagle Point Refinery and to consolidate production at its Marcus Hook and Philadelphia refineries.

The Eagle Point docks and terminal assets owned by Sunoco Logistics provide logistics support for crude oil, intermediates and refined products for the Eagle Point Refinery. Sunoco has announced that they expect to continue to distribute refined products through the Eagle Point terminal during the period the refinery is idled. Sunoco Logistics expects to work with Sunoco, Inc. to address any revenue impacts from idling the Eagle Point Refinery. The terminal and dock assets have an approximate net book value of $34 million and have generated approximately $13 million in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Sunoco Logistics is also the primary provider of logistics services for Sunoco Inc.'s Philadelphia Refinery and for outbound refined products for the Marcus Hook Refinery. It is expected that increased production at these facilities will result in additional revenue for Sunoco Logistics. Sunoco Logistics does not believe that distributions to unit holders will be impacted.
