Phillips 66 has provided an update on its progress toward idling operations at its Los Angeles refinery, US, in furtherance of the company’s efforts to redevelop these real estate sites.

The final waterborne crude was received on 30 September 2025, and the final crude processing date is expected to be around 16 October.

The facility is executing a detailed schedule to safely idle operations. Several process units have been placed in an idle state. The remaining units will be idled in a phased manner through the end of 2025.

Remediation and decommissioning efforts are progressing. In the 3Q25, the company expects to accrue environmental expenses of approximately US$70 million in the refining segment related to its future groundwater mitigation plans, along with an asset retirement charge of approximately US$30 million in the midstream segment related to transportation assets that will no longer be used as a result of the facility idling operations.

Phillips 66 remains committed to ensuring a steady fuel supply to meet ongoing California consumer demand. The company expects to meet demand by sourcing gasoline from within and outside its refining network.
