Sean Maher, Vice President of Investor Relations and Chief Economist at Phillips 66, appeared on the Collide community call "U.S. Energy In A Changing Global Market" on August 25, 2026. During the discussion, he addressed current refining margins and market uncertainty, noting that his team had previously held a constructive view on refining margins through the decade due to visibility on new capacity additions. He also discussed diesel demand, stating that he began to see potential "green shoots" in global and U.S. manufacturing starting in mid-2025, contrary to many forecasts that had diesel demand running flat. Maher also highlighted Phillips 66's Western Gateway pipeline project, which he said would transport 230,000 barrels per day to the Southwest market, a region he described as heavily reliant on California. In response to a question about replacement costs for new refining capacity, he referenced a public figure's estimate of a $16 billion refinery project, calling such figures "silly." He also briefly commented on the St. Bonaventure men's basketball team, expressing optimism about the addition of a new general manager.
