In 2015, Rangeland initiated construction of STEPS, an integrated hydrocarbon logistics system located in Corpus Christi, Texas, and designed to receive and store refined products and liquefied petroleum gas, and transport these commodities to third-party terminals located primarily in Mexico.
STEPS was strategically situated along the Kansas City Southern Railroad (NYSE: KSU) mainline within five miles of the Port of Corpus Christi and the Valero, Flint Hills and CITGO refineries. The location allowed inbound products to be delivered by truck or rail with the terminal conveniently situated to accommodate connections to pipelines and vessels.
In June 2018 Rangeland began transloading diesel onto railcars for a leading refined products customer. In December 2022, Rangeland sold its interests in STEPS.
