Rangely Oil Line Loop Project Nears Finish This Week
Officials from Engineers Limited report the Smile oil line loop on the Rangely to Salt Lake pipeline should be finished by week’s end.

Crews weld and bury two miles daily on the Duchesne River plateau, boosting capacity from 46 000 to 53 000 barrels and enabling wax base Red Wash pool crudes to enter the system.
