The Partnership owns a 33% membership interest in Red River Pipeline Company LLC ("Red River"), a joint venture operated with Plains Pipeline, L.P., which owns and operates a crude oil pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to Longview, Texas. Additionally, we have two pipeline joint ventures, in which we own a 50% membership interest in the entity formed with an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("CP LLC") to operate one of these pipeline systems and a 33% membership interest in the entity formed with Andeavor Logistics RIO Pipeline LLC ("Andeavor Logistics") to operate the other pipeline system.
The Partnership owns a 50% equity interest in Wink to Webster Holdings, LLC ("W2W Holdings"). Our interest in W2W Holdings includes a 15.6% indirect interest in the Wink to Webster Pipeline, LLC joint venture ("Wink to Webster") and related joint venture indebtedness.
W2W Holdings was originally formed by Delek Holdings and MPLX Operations LLC to obtain financing and fund capital calls associated with its collective and contributed interests in Wink to Webster. Wink to Webster owns and operates a long-haul crude oil pipeline system with origin points at Wink and Midland in the Permian Basin and delivery points at multiple Houston area locations. We determined that W2W Holdings is a VIE. While we have the ability to exert significant influence through participation in board and management committees, we are not the primary beneficiary since we do not have a controlling financial interest in W2W Holdings, and no single party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact W2W Holdings' economic performance.
Distributions received from Wink to Webster are first applied to service the debt of W2W Holdings wholly owned finance LLC, with excess distributions made to the W2W Holdings members as provided for in the W2W Holdings LLC Agreement and as allowed for under its debt agreements. The obligations of the W2W Holdings members under the W2W Holdings LLC Agreement are guaranteed by the parents of the member entities.
As of June 30, 2026, except for the guarantee of member obligations under the joint venture, we do not have other guarantees with or to W2W Holdings, nor any third-party associated with W2W Holdings contracted work. The Partnership's maximum exposure to any losses incurred by W2W Holdings is limited to its investment. The Partnership did not provide any financial support to equity method investments that it was not contractually obligated to provide during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
