Phillips 66 has announced plans to cease operations at its Los Angeles-area refinery in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“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.
