Phillips 66 Plans to Cease Operations at Los Angeles-Area Refinery

Los Angeles, CA…Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) announced plans to cease operations at its Los Angeles-area refinery in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will work with the state of California to supply fuel markets and meet ongoing consumer demand.

“We understand this decision has an impact on our employees, contractors and the broader community,” said Mark Lashier, chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. “We will work to help and support them through this transition.” Approximately 600 employees and 300 contractors currently operate the Los Angeles-area refinery.

“With the long-term sustainability of our Los Angeles Refinery uncertain and affected by market dynamics, we are working with leading land development firms to evaluate the future use of our unique and strategically located properties near the Port of Los Angeles,” said Lashier. “Phillips 66 remains committed to serving California and will continue to take the necessary steps to meet our commercial and customer demands.”

As the California Energy Commission’s analysis has indicated, expanding supply capabilities will be critical. Phillips 66 supports these efforts and will work with California to maintain current levels and potentially increase supplies to meet consumer needs. The company will supply gasoline from sources inside and outside its refining network as well as renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels from its Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex in the San Francisco Bay area.

Phillips 66 has engaged Catellus Development Corporation and Deca Companies, two leading real estate development firms, to evaluate the future use of the 650-acre sites in Wilmington, California, and Carson, California. The firms bring strong track records of solving complex redevelopment challenges and will collaborate with Phillips 66 in an advisory role to advance potential commercial development options that support the regional economy and other key stakeholder objectives.

“These sites offer an opportunity to create a transformational project that can support the environment, generate economic development, create jobs and improve the region’s critical infrastructure,” Lashier said.

    Obviously California was being held hostage by Phillips – not ok.

      You mean the other way around. California mandates its own special blend, now they are going to mandate much more than that. Why would anyone want to do business here? Your government hates you!!

      Look at what Gavin has even done to roof top solar!! Basically killed it as a payoff to PG&E! Gavin isn’t green he is just corrupt.

      Right, Phillips and so was Shell who called it quits in CA because of all the regulations and high cost from CA politicians and constantly being sued.
      It’s kind of like the thousands of businesses going bankrupt or being taxed to Hell and now saying F You and leaving for any of the much better, greener pastures. Oh and the businesses that shut their doors because politicians, liberal DA and judges won’t prosecute the criminals. So it’s all everyone else’s fault, or do you blame Phillips for that too?

    This ASS of a governor has created and stuck with his failed LIBTARD policies, time to make the playing field even again, we have a super majority of TARDS, they are destructive, could care less about the marginal citizen, tried to block the proposition 36 that would make criminals responsible for their stealing, etc, and this is okay with you? These illegals will one day stand on your doorstep and kick your sorry asses out of your own house, who is going to defend you., certainly not the TARDS! In fact all of Gavy’s real estate holdings should be used as homeless camps, what a dick!

    Politico reports Trump has skipped interviews due to exhaustion. His campaign schedule is lighter than in years past. And Americans think his age would limit his ability to do the job. So to turn his assertion around on him, who would run the government?

      You are a prime example of the recipient of right wing propoganda. Obama??? Clinton??? You are a moron, a dunce, and a doofus all rolled into one big slimeball of Trumpism. If you actually believe Clinton is part of the running of our government, you are a fool. Oh wait……………………………you are………………………………..

    This could be my fault…or at least partially my fault. I bought an electric truck (F-150) last year. I love it. It drives like a dream–smooth, quite, power. I haven’t stopped at a gas station at all since then. I almost forgot that other people still use gas. As more people drive electric vehicles. more refineries may go out of business. Gas might become hard to find.

    This is a Tue story: while driving to the VA in Livermore the traffic came to a screeching halt going up the Altamont from Tracy! Guess what, F-150 had caught on fire, the electric model and the drivers ass was on fire!

    Phillips still operates 8 refineries in CA. That should make both sides mad.

    I believe a full five year prison sentence would be appropriate. Most likely it will be much longer. So many extreme felonies and Treason. To realize a United States President. Is a treasonous insurrectionist. Will cast a dark shadow on our great nation for years to come.

    SAN FRANCISCO VS TAYLOR’S CHIEFS.

    SF needs a new QB. (And field goal kicker) Who was that person years ago that their whole career was about kneeling? That’s who they need

      Oh, you mean Kamala Harris? Well she started out in San Francisco, but she’s been sacked more times by Willie Brown then every QB in the NFL history.
      She too busy, one of her pop stars helping her campaign, Lizzo, told the crowd in Chicago if Kamala wins she’ll make the entire USA just like Chicago. The Dems thought that was great, they’re so ignorant they still don’t know that Chicago is the most violent city in America and their city is so embarrassing, so many shootings, killings that the mainstream media doesn’t report it. They know their ignorant left viewers are too dense to even know where Chicago is, let alone a Hamacrat run city.

If you use one you’ll just look as dumb as a person who voted for a senile, basement dwelling, idiot who ran for president. Or a hooker who started her political career on her knees and made SF a true liberal left chithole literally.

    I hate the “if a Dem did this” take, but a Dem clearing out McDonalds to briefly pour fries for pre-selected supporters would be covered as a Dukakis/tank disaster.

    Having an entire media infrastructure where you can do no wrong is helpful!

    A TOWN HALL MEETING BUT YOU CAN’T ASK QUESTIONS?
    Former California first lady and journalist Maria Shriver revealed that only “pre-determined questions” were allowed to be asked of Vice President Kamala Harris at a Michigan town hall event on Monday.

    “Are we going to be able to ask a question?” a woman attending the Oakland County event asked Shriver ahead of Harris taking the stage with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), according to the Daily Mail.

    Shriver shut her down.

    “This is a significant development for the local community and the energy sector in California. Music Resso App It’s encouraging to see Phillips 66 taking steps to support their employees and the broader community during this transition. I’m particularly interested in how the redevelopment of these sites will unfold and what sustainable projects might emerge. It’s essential that we focus on solutions that balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.”
