History of Phillips 66

  • Founded: 1927
  • Founders: L.E. Phillips, Frank Phillips

Brothers L.E. and Frank Phillips founded Phillips Petroleum Company in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in 1917, building it into a major integrated oil company. The Phillips 66 name arrived in 1927 for the company's new gasoline, reportedly chosen because the fuel powered a test car to 66 mph on Route 66, combining the highway's resonance with the number's luck. The shield-shaped logo echoed the Route 66 highway sign.

Phillips 66 became one of America's most recognized fuel brands through the mid-twentieth century, backed by service-station networks across the Midwest and West. The company expanded into chemicals, refining, and exploration while the brand anchored retail identity.

In 2002, Phillips Petroleum merged with Conoco Inc. to create ConocoPhillips, the third-largest US oil company. The Phillips 66, Conoco, and (from 2005) 76 brands continued under the merged marketing organization. In 2012, ConocoPhillips split: upstream stayed as ConocoPhillips while downstream became Phillips 66, inheriting the fuel marketing brands, refineries, chemicals (CPChem JV), and midstream assets.

The modern Phillips 66 brand covers about 7,620 US branded outlets at end-2025, primarily dealer-operated, plus the Kickback Rewards loyalty program and TOP TIER certified fuel. The parent has reshaped its portfolio, selling the majority of its German and Austrian retail business (65% to a JV December 2025), idling the Los Angeles refinery, and agreeing in January 2026 to acquire the UK's Lindsey Oil Refinery assets.

About Phillips 66

What does Phillips 66 own?
Phillips 66 owns refining, midstream, chemicals, marketing, and renewable fuels operations. Its consumer-facing brands include Phillips 66, Conoco, and 76 fuel stations, Jet in Europe, and Phillips 66 Aviation and Lubricants. The company also owns 50% of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem), a major petrochemicals joint venture, and fully owns DCP Midstream, one of the largest NGL gatherers and processors in the United States.

Is Phillips 66 publicly traded?
Yes, Phillips 66 is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PSX. The company has been publicly traded since May 1, 2012, when it was spun off from ConocoPhillips. Shares are held by institutional investors, mutual funds, and individual shareholders, with approximately 400.7 million shares outstanding as of January 2026.

Who founded Phillips 66?
The modern Phillips 66 was created in 2012 through a spin-off from ConocoPhillips, not by individual founders. The original Phillips Petroleum Company was founded in 1917 by brothers L.E. Phillips and Frank Phillips in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The Phillips 66 brand was introduced in 1927 at a service station in Wichita, Kansas, named after U.S. Route 66.

Where is Phillips 66 headquartered?
Phillips 66 is headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA. The company's corporate offices are in the Phillips 66 Tower in the Westchase district of Houston. The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 in anticipation of the 2012 spin-off from ConocoPhillips.

How many brands does Phillips 66 own?
Phillips 66 owns three primary retail fuel brands in the United States (Phillips 66, Conoco, and 76), one European fuel brand (Jet, partially divested in 2025), and several specialized product lines including Phillips 66 Aviation and Phillips 66 Lubricants. The company also holds a 50% stake in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. Its brand portfolio is smaller and more focused than diversified energy majors.

Who owns Phillips 66?
Phillips 66 is owned by its public shareholders. No single investor or group exercises controlling interest. The company is governed by a board of directors led by Chairman and CEO Mark Lashier. Institutional investors hold the majority of shares, with the company's market capitalization fluctuating based on energy sector conditions and refining margins.

What is Phillips 66's revenue?
Phillips 66 reported full year 2025 earnings of $4.4 billion on revenues of approximately $109.6 billion. The company generated $5.0 billion in net operating cash flow and returned $3.1 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. In Q2 2026, the company reported earnings of $3.8 billion, driven by strong refining utilization and record midstream volumes.

Has Phillips 66 made major acquisitions recently?
Yes. In October 2025, Phillips 66 acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in WRB Refining LP from Cenovus Energy, gaining full ownership of the Wood River and Borger refineries. In April 2026, the company completed the acquisition of Lindsey Oil Refinery and logistics assets in the United Kingdom. The company also acquired the Coastal Bend NGL fractionator and expanded its Dos Picos II gas plant in the Permian Basin.

Phillips 66 Recalls & Controversies

As a major refiner-fuel brand, Phillips 66 faces the industry's standard scrutiny: refinery emissions and community air quality (particularly around Los Angeles refinery's shutdown), environmental remediation at legacy sites, and the broader climate debate around fossil fuels. The company reports on emissions reduction targets and has invested in renewable fuels via its Rodeo Renewed conversion in California.

Retail-side controversies are minor: occasional pricing disputes during fuel price spikes and credit-card skimming incidents at franchised stations, common to all fuel brands.
