Phillips 66 will own 49.9% of the joint venture, Kinder Morgan 35.1% and HF Sinclair 15%, they added.

Companies have been racing to build a major new fuel pipeline to ‌the ⁠U.S. West Coast ahead of planned refinery closures in California, a relatively isolated fuel ⁠market with limited pipeline links to major refining hubs that leave it ⁠vulnerable to supply disruptions and price spikes.

The project ⁠is expected to be completed in 2029.
