How integration gives Phillips 66 the reach to deliver
SUMMARY
- Phillips 66’s interconnected system across the West Coast helps link supply, operations and market access in one of the country’s most complex energy regions.
- From refining and logistics to lubricants and branded marketing, that system creates value by moving energy products safely and reliably to consumers.
- Assets and projects like the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex and the proposed Western Gateway Pipeline show how Phillips 66 is meeting today’s demand while building flexibility for the future.
In this Today & Tomorrow feature, we take a closer look at the company’s integrated approach region by region, beginning with the West Coast, where energy demand is shaped by distance, geography, regulation, consumer expectations and some of the most dynamic fuel markets in the country.
Why it matters
Meeting evolving energy demand takes an integrated system that can adapt quickly to changing market needs while reliably supplying the fuels and products consumers depend on every day.
- For investors, integration supports disciplined value creation.
- For employees, it shows how their work connects to a larger enterprise.
- For customers, it supports reliable supply and practical solutions.
- For branded marketers and station operators, it helps connect trusted fuel brands with the supply, logistics and relationships behind them.
This approach maximizes efficiency, stability and opportunity in a volatile industry where every second counts.
Integration
Creating value from molecules to markets
The Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex and Ferndale Refinery are at the center of the value chain, producing transportation fuels and products that make modern life possible.
Sourcing supply: The Phillips 66 Commercial team sources feedstocks, including crude and renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oil, used cooking oil and greases from domestic and global markets while identifying new market opportunities.
Moving products: Feedstocks and finished products are safely transported by an extensive Midstream network of pipelines and terminals in California, Oregon and Washington, as well as by rail, barge/vessel and truck.
In Los Angeles and Portland, our lubricants plants show how shared infrastructure and close coordination with Midstream create value across the system. Together, the sites use integrated marine, rail and tank farm capabilities to receive base oils and finished products such as motor oils, transmission fluids, turbine oil and hydraulic fluid — extending our value chain into the products that keep vehicles and industrial equipment running smoothly.
Connecting with consumers: The iconic 76® brand brings the system to life at the pump by connecting fuel supply to everyday consumer demand. Relationships with branded marketers, dealers and fuel station operators, along with our evolving Fuel Forward® loyalty platform and high-impact advertising and sponsorships with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ersand Los Angeles Dodgers, builds familiarity, relevance and loyalty for 76.
Supply
Connecting resources to demand
While meeting today’s needs is essential, our business strategy also means we’re planning for future regional needs.
Supplying the West Coast: In Washington, the Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery produces gasoline, diesel and California Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending. CARBOB is a California-regulated gasoline blend that helps supply the West Coast market and, more specifically, Northern California. The refinery is also enhancing its capabilities to support aviation fuel.
Rodeo’s marine dock, storage, transportation infrastructure and connections to Phillips 66’s integrated network form strategic links allowing renewable feedstocks to be sourced from around the world and efficiently transformed into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel for consumers across the region.
Feedstocks and finished products move across the region through:
- Marine terminals in Los Angeles, Rodeo and Portland.
- Fuel product terminals in Torrance and Los Angeles, including the Torrance Tank Farm and terminals in Washington.
- Associated pipelines in California.
Building future flexibility: The proposed Western Gateway Pipeline project is designed to improve supply flexibility, versatility and reliability by connecting Midcontinent and Gulf Coast refinery supply with growing markets in Arizona and California.
Evolution
Meeting today’s energy needs while building for the future
Advancing lower-carbon solutions: Rodeo represents both longevity and evolution as it celebrates its 130th birthday this year. After its transition from a traditional refinery in 2024, it’s now one of the largest renewable fuels facilities in the world, processing about 800 million gallons per year of renewable feedstocks to produce renewable diesel and SAF.
That leadership matters across the West Coast. Rodeo supplies SAF to aviation customers at major airports and renewable diesel to more than 600 76® branded stores.
Looking ahead: Phillips 66’s commitment to the region is reflected in a strong integrated system that keeps essential energy moving safely and reliably where and when it matters most. That integration will remain essential to reliable West Coast supply and evolving energy needs.
