Phillips Petroleum Company

In 1996, the Circle K Corporation sold the chain to the refiner Tosco for $710 million.

And in 2001, Phillips Petroleum bought Tosco, Circle Clay included.

In 2002, Phillips merged with Conoco, three owners in seven years, two of them oil companies, for whom a convenience store was a way to sell gasoline, not a business in its own right.

Then in October 2003, the deal that made the company.

Mm-hmm.

So this is the kind of amazing, um, quality of life that, that not, not only do we have, but it's the lux- the immense luxury that leaders in our city had even 20, 25 years ago with Phillips Petroleum, right?

Mm-hmm.

So they would, they would conclude a board meeting on the, uh, 19th floor of PB and go downstairs, get in a, get in the limo, and they'd drive, drive over to the airport, get on the jet, and they'd be, you know, in Abu Dhabi in 12 or 13 hours if they wanted.

When his family moved to Amarillo, Texas, hoping for better prospects, Pickens made the high school basketball team as a scrappy undersized guard and helped push it to the state semifinals.

He studied geology at what's now Oklahoma State University, took a junior geologist job with Phillips Petroleum after graduating, and quit after three unhappy years of corporate bureaucracy.

On twenty-five hundred borrowed dollars, he started his own oil company.

Within a decade, it was earning three-quarters of a million dollars a year.

Phillips 66 has brought you the baseball game by permission of the Chicago White Sox and the Philadelphia Athletics to stimulate interest in our national game and in your local team no matter where you may be.

Don't forget the Phillips Petroleum Company will present Russ Hodges again tomorrow in a broadcast of another baseball game from Comiskey Park.

Be sure to listen in tonight at 7 o'clock for the reenactment of today's Cubs game.

Dramatized.

If the parking lot is at a construction site, have the meeting there.

If the parking lot is someplace else, have the meeting there." I did a project years ago for Phillips Petroleum early in my career where they called me because a refinery had blown up and killed a number of people.

They wanted to rebuild the refinery, but, uh, they needed to do it by the book, and they wanted to tell that story really well.

And so they brought me in to produce a documentary film about the rebuilding of that, of that refinery, and I was really coming up with nothing.

That eviscerates the theory of pork producers that states can only regulate out-of-state conduct with a direct nexus to in-state injury.

Kansas and Phillips Petroleum couldn't apply its law to a class action just by pointing to some Kansas injuries when 97% of the conduct and injuries were out of state.

So do here.

I welcome the Court's questions.
