PART I

Items 1 and 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Phillips 66, headquartered in Houston, Texas, was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 in connection with, and in anticipation of, a restructuring of ConocoPhillips that separated its downstream businesses into an independent, publicly traded company named Phillips 66. The two companies were separated by ConocoPhillips distributing to its stockholders all the shares of common stock of Phillips 66 after the market closed on April 30, 2012 (the Separation). Phillips 66 stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the “PSX” stock symbol.

Our business is organized into four operating segments:


1)	Midstream—Provides crude oil and refined petroleum product transportation, terminaling and processing services, as well as natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) transportation, storage, fractionation, processing and marketing services, mainly in the United States. This segment includes our master limited partnership (MLP), Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners), as well as our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream).

This segment includes our master limited partnership (MLP), Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners), as well as our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream).


2)	Chemicals—Consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem), which manufactures and markets petrochemicals and plastics on a worldwide basis.


3)	Refining—Refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, at 13 refineries in the United States and Europe.


4)	Marketing and Specialties (M&S)—Purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products, mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of specialty products, such as base oils and lubricants.

Corporate and Other includes general corporate overhead, interest expense, our investment in new technologies and various other corporate activities. Corporate assets include all cash, cash equivalents and income tax-related assets.

At December 31, 2019, Phillips 66 had approximately 14,500 employees.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

MIDSTREAM

The Midstream segment consists of three business lines:


•	Transportation—Transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined petroleum products to market, and provides terminaling and storage services for crude oil and refined petroleum products.


•	NGL and Other—Transports, stores, fractionates, exports and markets NGL and provides other fee-based processing services.


•	DCP Midstream—Gathers, processes, transports and markets natural gas and transports, fractionates and markets NGL.

Phillips 66 Partners

Phillips 66 Partners, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a publicly traded MLP formed in 2013 to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based midstream assets. On August 1, 2019, Phillips 66 Partners completed a restructuring transaction to eliminate the incentive distribution rights (IDRs) held by us and convert our 2% economic general partner interest into a noneconomic general partner interest in exchange for 101 million Phillips 66 Partners common units. No distributions were made for the general partner interest after August 1, 2019. At December 31, 2019, we owned 170 million Phillips 66 Partners common units, representing a 74% limited partner interest in Phillips 66 Partners, while the public owned a 26% limited partner interest and 13.8 million perpetual convertible preferred units.

Phillips 66 Partners’ operations currently consist of crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL transportation, terminaling, fractionation, processing and storage assets that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. The majority of Phillips 66 Partners’ assets are associated with, and integral to, Phillips 66 operated refineries.

The results of operations of Phillips 66 Partners are included in Midstream’s Transportation and NGL and Other business lines, based on the nature of the activity within the partnership.

Transportation

We own or lease various assets to provide transportation, terminaling and storage services. These assets include crude oil, refined petroleum product, NGL, and natural gas pipeline systems; crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL terminals; a petroleum coke handling facility; marine vessels; railcars and trucks.

Pipelines and Terminals

At December 31, 2019, our Transportation business was comprised of over 22,000 miles of crude oil, refined petroleum product, NGL and natural gas pipeline systems in the United States, including those partially owned or operated by our affiliates. We owned or operated 39 refined petroleum product terminals, 20 crude oil terminals, 4 NGL terminals, a petroleum coke exporting facility and various other storage and loading facilities.

The Beaumont Terminal in Nederland, Texas, is the largest terminal in the Phillips 66 portfolio. At December 31, 2019, the terminal storage capacity was 15.5 million barrels, which included 11.8 million barrels of storage capacity for crude oil and 3.7 million barrels of storage capacity for refined petroleum products. We continue to expand capacity at the Beaumont Terminal, and upon completion in the first quarter of 2020, the terminal will have 16.8 million barrels of total crude oil and refined products storage capacity. In addition, we are increasing its export capacity by 200,000 barrels per day (BPD) with the addition of a fourth dock, bringing the terminal’s total dock capacity to 800,000 BPD. The project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020.

The Bayou Bridge Pipeline joint venture transports crude oil from Nederland, Texas, to St. James, Louisiana. A segment of the pipeline from Lake Charles to St. James, Louisiana, was completed on April 1, 2019. Phillips 66 Partners has a 40% interest in the joint venture, and our co-venturer serves as the operator. The pipeline has a capacity of approximately 480,000 BPD.

The Gray Oak Pipeline system will transport up to 900,000 BPD of crude oil from the Permian and Eagle Ford to Texas Gulf Coast destinations that include Corpus Christi, the Sweeny area, including our Sweeny Refinery, as well as access to the Houston market. The pipeline system made its first commercial delivery in November 2019 and is expected to reach full service in the second quarter of 2020. Phillips 66 Partners has a 42.25% effective ownership interest in the pipeline system.

Phillips 66 Partners owns a 25% interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal, which will connect to the Gray Oak Pipeline in Corpus Christi, Texas. The marine export terminal, under construction by a co-venturer, will have two deepwater docks, storage capacity of 8.5 million barrels and up to 800,000 BPD of throughput capacity. The terminal is expected to start up in the third quarter of 2020.

The Red Oak Pipeline system joint venture will transport crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma, and the Permian to multiple destinations along the Texas Gulf Coast, including Corpus Christi, Ingleside, Houston, and Beaumont, Texas. The throughput capacity on the pipeline is expected to be 1,000,000 BPD. The pipeline system is supported by long-term shipper commitments, and initial service is expected in the first half of 2021. Our co-venturer will construct the pipeline, and we will operate it. We own a 50% interest in the joint venture.

The Liberty Pipeline joint venture will transport crude oil from the Rockies and Bakken production areas to Cushing, Oklahoma. The throughput capacity on the 24 inch pipeline is expected to be 400,000 BPD. The pipeline is supported by long-term shipper commitments, and service is expected in the first half of 2021.

Marine Vessels

At December 31, 2019, we had 17 international-flagged crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL tankers and two Jones Act-compliant tankers under time charter contracts, with capacities ranging in size from 300,000 to 2,200,000 barrels. Additionally, we had a variety of inland and offshore tug/barge units. These vessels are used primarily to transport crude oil and other feedstocks, as well as refined petroleum products for certain of our refineries. In addition, the NGL tankers are used to export propane and butane from our fractionation, transportation and storage infrastructure.

Truck and Rail

Our truck and rail fleets support our feedstock and distribution operations. Rail movements are provided via a fleet of approximately 10,000 owned and leased railcars. Truck movements are provided through our wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinel Transportation LLC, and through numerous third-party trucking companies.

NGL and Other

Our NGL and Other business includes the following:


•	A U.S. Gulf Coast NGL market hub comprised of the Freeport LPG Export Terminal and Phillips 66 Partners’ 100,000-BPD Sweeny Fractionator. These assets are supported by 9,000,000 barrels of gross capacity at Phillips 66 Partners’ Clemens Caverns storage facility. We refer to these facilities as the “Sweeny Hub.”


•	A 22.5% interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators, which owns an NGL fractionation plant in Mont Belvieu, Texas. We operate the facility, and our net share of its capacity is 32,625 BPD.


•	A 12.5% undivided interest in a fractionation plant in Mont Belvieu, Texas. Our net share of its capacity is 30,250 BPD.


•	A 40% undivided interest in a fractionation plant in Conway, Kansas. Our net share of its capacity is 43,200 BPD.


•	Phillips 66 Partners owns the River Parish NGL logistics system in southeast Louisiana, comprising approximately 500 miles of pipeline and a storage cavern connecting multiple fractionation facilities, refineries and a petrochemical facility.


•	Phillips 66 Partners owns a direct one-third interest in both the DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC, which own NGL pipeline systems that connect the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin and Midcontinent production areas to the Mont Belvieu, Texas, market hub.


•	Phillips 66 Partners, through its ownership of Merey Sweeny LLC, owns a vacuum distillation unit with a capacity of 125,000 BPD and a delayed coker unit with a capacity of 70,000 BPD located at our Sweeny Refinery in Old Ocean, Texas.


•	In July 2019, Phillips 66 Partners completed the construction of a 25,000 BPD isomerization unit at our Lake Charles Refinery, which reached full production during the year. The project increased Phillips 66’s production of higher-octane gasoline blend components.

Phillips 66 Partners’ Sweeny Fractionator is located adjacent to our Sweeny Refinery in Old Ocean, Texas, and supplies purity ethane to the petrochemical industry and purity NGL to domestic and global markets. Raw NGL supply to the fractionator is delivered from nearby major pipelines, including the Sand Hills Pipeline. The fractionator is supported by significant infrastructure including connectivity to two NGL supply pipelines, a pipeline connecting to the Mont Belvieu market center and the Clemens Caverns storage facility with access to our liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) export terminal in Freeport, Texas.

DCP Midstream

Our Midstream segment includes our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream, which is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. At December 31, 2019, DCP Midstream, through its subsidiary DCP Midstream, LP (DCP Partners), owned or operated 44 active natural gas processing facilities, with a net processing capacity of approximately 6.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). DCP Midstream’s owned or operated natural gas pipeline systems included gathering services for these facilities, as well as natural gas transmission, and totaled approximately 58,000 miles of pipeline. DCP Midstream also owned or operated 11 NGL fractionation plants, along with natural gas and NGL storage facilities, and NGL pipelines.

The residual natural gas, primarily methane, which results from processing raw natural gas, is sold by DCP Midstream at market-based prices to marketers and end users, including large industrial companies, natural gas distribution companies and electric utilities. DCP Midstream purchases or takes custody of substantially all of its raw natural gas from producers, principally under contractual arrangements that expose DCP Midstream to the prices of NGL, natural gas and condensate. DCP Midstream also has fee-based arrangements with producers to provide midstream services such as gathering and processing. In addition, DCP Midstream markets a portion of its NGL to us and our equity affiliates under existing contracts.

On November 6, 2019, DCP Partners completed a transaction to eliminate all general partner economic interests in DCP Partners and IDRs in exchange for 65 million newly issued DCP Partners common units. With completion of the transaction, DCP Midstream held a noneconomic general partner interest and approximately 118 million common units, representing approximately 57% of DCP Partners’ outstanding common units.

During 2019, DCP Midstream completed or advanced the following growth projects:


•	The 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) O’Connor 2 plant was placed into service in the third quarter of 2019, and the associated 100 MMcf/d bypass was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing DCP Midstream’s total available DJ Basin capacity to over 1.4 billion Bcf/d.


•	The Gulf Coast Express pipeline began commercial operations in the third quarter of 2019. The pipeline transports approximately 2 Bcf/d of natural gas to Gulf Coast markets. DCP Midstream owns a 25% interest in the pipeline.


•	In October 2019, DCP Midstream exercised an option to increase its ownership interest in the Cheyenne Connector to 50%. The 600 MMcf/d natural gas pipeline is expected to be in service in the first half of 2020.

CHEMICALS

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in CPChem, which is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. At December 31, 2019, CPChem owned or had joint venture interests in 28 manufacturing facilities located in Belgium, Colombia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the United States. Additionally, CPChem has two research and development centers in the United States.

We structure our reporting of CPChem’s operations around two primary business lines: Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) and Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics (SA&S). The O&P business line produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. The ethylene produced is primarily used by CPChem to produce polyethylene, normal alpha olefins (NAO) and polyethylene pipe. The SA&S business line manufactures and markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene. SA&S also manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products including organosulfur chemicals, solvents, catalysts, and chemicals used in drilling and mining.

The manufacturing of petrochemicals and plastics involves the conversion of hydrocarbon-based raw material feedstocks into higher-value products, often through a thermal process referred to in the industry as “cracking.” For example, ethylene can be produced by cracking ethane, propane, butane, natural gasoline or certain refinery liquids, such as naphtha and gas oil. Ethylene primarily is used as a raw material in the production of plastics, such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Plastic resins, such as polyethylene, are manufactured in a thermal/catalyst process, and the produced output is used as a further raw material for various applications, such as packaging and plastic pipe.

The following table reflects CPChem’s petrochemicals and plastics product capacities at December 31, 2019:

Marketing

Marketing—United States

We market gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel through marketer and joint venture outlets that utilize the Phillips 66, Conoco or 76 brands. At December 31, 2019, we had approximately 7,540 branded outlets in 48 states.

Our wholesale operations utilize a network of marketers operating approximately 5,450 outlets. We place a strong emphasis on the wholesale channel of trade because of its relatively lower capital requirements. In addition, we hold brand-licensing agreements covering approximately 1,280 sites. Our refined petroleum products are marketed on both a branded and unbranded basis. A high percentage of our branded marketing sales are made in the Midcontinent, Rockies and West Coast regions, where our wholesale marketing networks provide efficient off-take from our refineries. We continue to utilize consignment fuel arrangements with several marketers whereby we own the fuel inventory and pay the marketers a monthly fee.

In the Gulf Coast and East Coast regions, most sales are conducted via the unbranded channel of trade, which does not require a highly integrated marketing and distribution infrastructure to secure product placement for refinery pull through. We are expanding our export capability at our U.S. coastal refineries to meet growing international demand and increase flexibility to provide product to the highest-value markets.

In addition to automotive gasoline and diesel, we produce and market aviation gasoline and jet fuel. Aviation gasoline and jet fuel are sold through dealers and independent marketers at approximately 810 Phillips 66 branded locations.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we formed a retail marketing joint venture with operations primarily on the U.S. West Coast. The joint venture operates a network that includes approximately 580 outlets. This joint venture enables increased long-term placement of our refinery production and increases our exposure to retail margins.

Marketing—International

We have marketing operations in four European countries. Our European marketing strategy is to sell primarily through owned, leased or joint venture retail sites using a low-cost, high-volume approach. We use the JET brand name to market retail and wholesale products in Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, we have an equity interest in a joint venture that markets refined petroleum products in Switzerland under the COOP brand name.

We also market aviation fuels, LPG, heating oils, marine bunker fuels, and other secondary refined products to commercial customers and into the bulk or spot markets in the above countries.

At December 31, 2019, we had 1,280 marketing outlets in Europe, of which 980 were company owned and 300 were dealer owned. In addition, we had interests in 320 additional sites through our COOP joint venture operations in Switzerland.
