The pipeline, which would have a capacity of 130,000 bbl/d of oil, is expected to provide critical takeaway capacity for crude oil producers in the Denver-Julesburg Basin.
Rimrock and NGL anticipate that multiple gathering pipelines throughout Weld County and surrounding areas will deliver into the Grand Mesa Pipeline system.
The project proponents said that delivery into the Cushing hub affords shippers access to the US Midcontinent markets and the Texas Gulf Coast refinery complex.
