Phillips Petroleum Company was incorporated June 13, 1917 by brothers Lee Eldas "L. E." and Frank Phillips, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Their younger brother Waite Phillips was the benefactor of Philmont Scout Ranch. The company was headquartered in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
Phillips Petroleum rapidly became a fully integrated oil company that included oil and gas production, crude oil pipelines and refineries, and marketing of petroleum products
On August 30, 2002, Conoco Inc. merged with Phillips Petroleum to form ConocoPhillips, becoming the third largest integrated energy company and second-largest refining company in the United States. The company moved its headquarters to Houston.
In 2012, ConocoPhillips split into two separate companies. The new company, which owns the refinery, chemical and pipeline assets of the former ConocoPhillips is named Phillips 66. The best-known brand of Phillips Petroleum was Phillips 66, named in part for the historic US Highway known as Route 66.
