Conoco and Phillips 66 announced on November 18, 2001 that their boards of directors had unanimously approved a definitive agreement for a "merger of equals". The merged company, ConocoPhillips, became the third-largest integrated U.S. energy company based on market capitalization and oil and gas reserves and production. On November 11, 2011 ConocoPhillips announced that Phillips 66 would be the name of a new independent oil and gasoline refining and marketing firm, created as ConocoPhillips split into two companies. ConocoPhillips kept the current name of the company and concentrated on oil exploration and production side while Phillips 66 included refining, marketing, midstream, and chemical portions of the company.

The 587 foot tall Mammoet PTC 140 crane, seen here from North First Street, towers over the Refinery Complex in Ponca City. The supercrane was used to move two new 232 ton coker reactor units within the refinery on September 29, 2013. Phillips was willing to invest $70 million in the two new coker reactor units because the Ponca City Refinery is one of the best run, safest, and most profitable of Phillips' fifteen worldwide refineries and Garland wants the refinery in Ponca City to continue to run smoothly and profitably. This photograph of the supercrane in Ponca City was taken from almost two miles away from the crane. Photo: Hugh Pickens All Rights Reserved.

July 14, 2016: Greg Garland Says Recruiting and Retaining Millennials Was a Significant Motivator for Phillips 66's New Campus in Houston

Houston Business Journals reported on July 14, 2016 that one example of an energy company that has spruced up its workspace is Houston-based Phillips 66 which just unveiled its new global headquarters. The company's CEO, Greg Garland, said that recruiting and retaining Millennials was a significant motivator for the new campus. The headquarters has a yoga studio, massage parlor, putting green, spinning studio, basketball court, and a soccer field with a track. It also has an on-site dentist and physician through Memorial Hermann Health System, as well as two credit unions with campus outposts – Houston-based Member's Choice Credit Union and Oklahoma-based Truity Credit Union. Employees can de-stress in a massage parlor, or get their suits and skirts pressed in an on-site Men's Wearhouse dry cleaner. "Thirty-six percent of our workforce are Millennials," Garland said. "(That number) is going to grow, and these are the kinds of facilities that attract Millennials and the kind of place they want to work at. … (It’s) part of just being competitive in this market."[1][2]

Ponca: A Core Asset. Phillips CEO Greg Garland told members of the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce on August 27, 2013 that the refinery at Ponca is a 'core asset' of Phillips 66. The refinery in Ponca City "is making very good money for us," Garland told his Bartlesville audience. Garland added that he expects gas demands in the U.S. to decline by 20 percent in the next 10 years, but that demand for refined products in South America and Africa will more than offset that decline.
