# Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery - Wilmington site

Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery - Wilmington site, Wilmington, CA. 83,400 bpd crude capacity (EIA-820). Status: closed. Crude supply, outlets, events.

- Location: Wilmington, CA
- Status: closed — Closure announced Oct 16, 2024; phased idling through 2025; final crude processing at the Carson site occurred mid-October 2025; Phillips 66's own refining page (fetched 2026-09) states the Los Angeles Refinery 'has been idled' and the company is pursuing redevelopment (Wilmington: 'Five Points Union' project; Carson: 'Diamond Gateway' project). Layoffs began December 2025. As of this research date the Wilmington site is idle/closed, not operating as a refinery.
- Crude capacity: 83,400 bpd (EIA-820)
- Operator: Phillips 66 Company
- Parent: Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX)

## Crude supply
- pipeline: Intermediate-product pipeline from the Carson crude unit (intra-complex, ~5 miles) — Wilmington does not receive crude oil directly; it receives intermediate products from Carson's crude processing units via a dedicated connecting pipeline, then finishes them into salable products. Graph edges naming inbound crude/marine/pipeline routes at Wilmington likely represent historical feedstock/blend-component receipts rather than raw crude runs.
- pipeline: Line 2000 (Pacific Pipeline) — Line 2000/Pacific Pipeline is a long-established heavy-crude line historically supplying Los Angeles-area refineries (including the former ARCO/Tosco/ConocoPhillips Carson-Wilmington complex) from Kern County; no source found confirming current-day (2024-2025) use immediately before shutdown, so treated as plausible/historical rather than confirmed-current.
- marine: San Pedro Bay / Port of Long Beach marine terminal — The Wilmington site sits adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles and would plausibly use a San Pedro Bay marine terminal for feedstock or product movements, but no source found that explicitly names this route for Wilmington specifically.

## Product outlets
- pipeline: Regional refined-products pipelines (unspecified operator) — No source found naming a specific outbound products-pipeline operator/name for the Wilmington finishing site; general references only describe the complex as a major Southern California fuel supplier prior to closure.

## Recent events
- 2025-12 — Layoffs begin, affecting union, non-union and contractor positions as the refinery complex winds down.
- 2025-10-01 — Phillips 66 books ~$100M in charges (including ~$70M for groundwater mitigation) as it winds down the refinery; several process units already placed in idle state, remaining units idled in phases through end of 2025; final crude processing expected mid-October 2025.
- 2024-10-16 — Phillips 66 announces plan to permanently cease crude processing and close the Los Angeles Refinery (Carson + Wilmington) by Q4 2025, citing market fundamentals rather than California regulation.
