On its investor call, Phillips 66 announced plans to make cost savings of $1bn by the end of 2023.
Phillips 66 president and CEO Mark Lashier said: “We have returned more than $30bn to shareholders since the company’s formation in 2012, in large part from our uniquely integrated and diversified assets in Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing.”
