Midstream second-quarter pre-tax income was $423 million, compared with $316 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Transportation second-quarter adjusted pre-tax income of $245 million was $42 million higher than the first quarter, primarily due to higher pipeline and terminal volumes at both wholly owned and joint venture operations.

NGL and Other adjusted pre-tax income for the second quarter was $143 million, a $53 million increase from the first quarter. The improvement was due to higher margins and volumes at the Sweeny Hub and improved butane trading results.

The company’s equity investment in DCP Midstream generated adjusted pre-tax income of $35 million in the second quarter, compared with $23 million in the first quarter. The increase primarily reflects favorable hedging impacts.

Refining second-quarter pre-tax income was $983 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $198 million in the first quarter of 2019. Refining results in the first quarter included $21 million of favorable claim settlements.

Refining adjusted pre-tax income was $983 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with an adjusted pre-tax loss of $219 million in the first quarter of 2019. The improvement was largely due to higher realized margins and volumes. Realized margins for the quarter increased to $11.37 per barrel from $7.23 per barrel in the first quarter, primarily driven by higher gasoline crack spreads. The company's worldwide crude utilization rate was 97%, up from 84% in the first quarter.

Pre-tax turnaround costs for the second quarter were $67 million, compared with first-quarter costs of $148 million. Clean product yield was 84% in the second quarter.

Adjusted pre-tax income for Marketing and Other was $294 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $156 million from the first quarter of 2019. The increase was due to higher domestic and international marketing margins, reflecting the impact of falling refined product spot prices within the quarter. Refined product exports in the second quarter were 187,000 barrels per day (BPD).

Specialties generated adjusted pre-tax income of $59 million during the second quarter, down from $67 million in the first quarter. The decrease was due to lower finished lubricant margins.

Strategic Update

In Midstream, Phillips 66 announced a joint venture to construct the Liberty Pipeline that will provide crude oil transportation from the Rockies and Bakken production areas to Cushing, Oklahoma. Liberty is supported by long-term shipper commitments and initial service is targeted for the first quarter of 2021. Phillips 66 owns a 50% interest in Liberty and will construct and operate the pipeline.

Phillips 66 also announced a joint venture to construct the Red Oak Pipeline system that will provide crude oil transportation from Cushing and the Permian Basin to multiple destinations along the Gulf Coast, including Corpus Christi, Ingleside, Houston and Beaumont, Texas. Red Oak is supported by long-term shipper commitments and initial service is targeted for the first quarter of 2021. Our co-venturer will construct and Phillips 66 will operate the pipeline. Phillips 66 owns a 50% interest in the venture.

Phillips 66 continues to expand the Sweeny Hub to meet increasing natural gas liquid (NGL) production and market demand. The company is moving forward with plans to build a fourth fractionator with 150,000 BPD of capacity that is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021. Fracs 2 and 3, each with capacity of 150,000 BPD, are anticipated to start up in the fourth quarter of 2020. The new fractionators are supported by long-term customer commitments. Upon completion of Frac 4, the Sweeny Hub will have 550,000 BPD of fractionation capacity.

Also at the Sweeny Hub, Phillips 66 Partners is adding 6 million barrels of storage capacity at Clemens Caverns. Upon completion in the fourth quarter of 2020, Clemens Caverns will have 15 million barrels of storage capacity. Phillips 66 Partners is also constructing the Clemens to Gregory (C2G) Pipeline, a 16 inch ethane pipeline that will connect Clemens Caverns to petrochemical facilities in Gregory, Texas, near Corpus Christi. The project is backed by long-term commitments and is expected to be completed in 2021.

Phillips 66 Partners is constructing the 900,000 BPD Gray Oak Pipeline, which is anticipated to be in service by the end of 2019. The pipeline will provide crude oil transportation from the Permian and Eagle Ford to Texas Gulf Coast destinations that include Corpus Christi, the Sweeny area, including the company's Sweeny Refinery, as well as access to the Houston market. Phillips 66 Partners has a 42.25% ownership in the pipeline. The Gray Oak Pipeline joint venture has secured $1.3 billion of project financing.

The Gray Oak Pipeline will connect to multiple terminals in Corpus Christi, including the South Texas Gateway Terminal currently being constructed by Buckeye Partners, L.P. The marine export terminal will have two deepwater docks, with initial storage capacity of approximately 7 million barrels and up to 800,000 BPD of throughput capacity. Phillips 66 Partners owns a 25% interest in the terminal, which is expected to start up by mid-2020.

The company is constructing 2.2 million barrels of additional crude oil storage at its Beaumont Terminal. Upon completion in the first quarter of 2020, the terminal will have 16.8 million barrels of total crude and product storage capacity.

DCP Midstream’s O’Connor 2 plant is in the final commissioning phase and is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2019. This adds 200 million cubic feet per day of gas processing capacity in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin. In the Permian, DCP Midstream has a 25% interest in the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline project to transport approximately 2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to Gulf Coast markets. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2019.

In Chemicals, CPChem and Qatar Petroleum signed an agreement to jointly pursue development of a petrochemical facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast that would add world-scale ethylene and derivative capacity to meet growing global demand. The U.S. Gulf Coast II Petrochemical Project is expected to include a 2 million metric tons per year ethylene cracker and two high-density polyethylene units, each with capacity of 1 million metric tons per year. CPChem would own 51% and have responsibility for the construction, operation and management of the facility. Final investment decision is expected no later than 2021, with targeted startup in 2024.

CPChem signed an agreement with Qatar Petroleum to pursue the development, construction and operation of a petrochemicals complex in Qatar. The facility is expected to have a 1.9 million metric tons per year ethylene cracker and two high-density polyethylene derivative units with a combined capacity of 1.7 million metric tons per year. Pending final investment decision, the project is expected to start up in late-2025. CPChem will own a 30% share of the joint venture.

In Refining, Phillips 66 is upgrading the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC) at the Sweeny Refinery to increase production of higher-value petrochemical products and higher-octane gasoline. The project is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2020.

Phillips 66 Partners’ 25,000 BPD isomerization unit at the Lake Charles Refinery was completed in July and is expected to ramp up to full production in the third quarter. The project increases production of higher-octane gasoline blend components.

The company has a portfolio of renewable fuel projects under development that leverage existing infrastructure. Waste fats, recycled cooking oils and other renewable feedstocks will be used for diesel production that complies with low-carbon fuel standards. The Humber Refinery has a project underway to increase its capacity for co-processing used cooking oil in the production of diesel. The company has supply and offtake agreements with two third-party facilities in Nevada, the first of which is expected to begin production by the end of this year. At the Ferndale Refinery, the company is partnering in the development of a renewable diesel plant. Renewable fuel opportunities are also being evaluated at the San Francisco Refinery. Upon completion, these projects are expected to bring approximately 650 million gallons of renewable diesel to the market annually.

In Marketing, the company continues its program to roll out updated signature image designs for Phillips 66, 76 and Conoco branded sites in the United States. During the quarter, approximately 400 sites were re-imaged. Since the program’s inception in 2015, approximately 3,300 sites have been re-imaged.

The company will host an analyst and investor day in New York on Nov. 6, 2019. Additional details will be provided at a later date.

*We generally tax effect taxable U.S.-based special items using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of approximately 25%. Taxable special items attributable to foreign locations likewise use a local statutory income tax rate. Nontaxable events reflect zero income tax. These events include, but are not limited to, most goodwill impairments, transactions legislatively exempt from income tax, transactions related to entities for which we have made an assertion that the undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested, or transactions occurring in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance.

†Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding and income allocated to participating securities, if applicable, in the adjusted earnings per share calculation are the same as those used in the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation.
