The FED has plenty of land here that mostly likely would not be suitable for anything else but something like a refinery due to HAZMAT from the Oak Ridge weapons facilities. I’m talking about quite a few thousand acres too. Of course the same Kooks who come here every year to protest the weapons facilities likely wouldn’t like that either.
A pipeline from the Louisiana Superport could supply oil to new refineries in Tennessee/Northern Mississippi/Northern Alabama/Georgia/Kentucky.
Maybe there is already some Federal Land that can be used away from the Nuke labs in Tennessee. Huntsville is a NASA site, and I don't know if there are very many acres for NASA there.
But it would not be a problem to pump oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to other refineries -- provided the pipelines exist -- in cases where there are problems with Gulf Coast oil refineries.
One solution is to build several large refinery or several large refineries in various strategic spots across the country.
As an example,one place that comes to mind would be inland from Virginia Beach near Richmond.
A large refinery or several large refineries inland near Richmond would provide gasoline/diesel/petroleum products to Norfolk/Virginia Beach/Washington, DC/Philadelphia and points North. It should also be able to serve the Carolinas and maybe parts of Georgia as well as Tennessee and Kentucky as well as West Virginia...
Additionally, such refineries should be able to areas South as well.
