Originating at the Rio State Line Terminal in Loving County, Texas, the 110-mile, 12-inch pipeline has the capacity to transport more than 125,000 barrels per day from the State Line Terminal to the company’s Geneva and Zurich terminals in Midland.

“For this reason Rangeland has placed a very high priority on providing takeaway service and optionality to all customers active in the basin. We’re very pleased to commission the Rio Pipeline.”
