Phillips 66 CEO: Bringing Mississippi Lime Crude to Oklahoma Refinery

Downstream Today -- Phillips 66 (PSX) will spend up to $1.5 billion in capital in 2012, mainly to increase the amount of crude its refineries take from the North American Mid-continent region, the company said Wednesday.

Refiners in the U.S. are working to bring more crude oil from south Texas, North Dakota and other regions to their refinery gates. A boom in U.S. oil production, led by advances in drilling technology, has made such crude oil cheaper than that imported into coastal regions.

"We're looking at pipeline, rail, truck and barge--any way we can get advantaged crude there," Phillips 66 Chief Executive Greg Garland said during a call with investors.

Phillips 66 is bringing crude oil from the Mississippi Lime shale formation to its 198,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Ponca City, Okla.

Refine American oil here and make it illegal to export any American refined fuel to overseas markets. Can we get Big Oil out of Republican politician's pockets?? Important objective.

No oil company considers refinery shutdowns to be a good thing. Unless, of course, they're lying to the stockholders.
