Phillips 66 said it has become the world’s third-largest purchaser of Venezuelan crude by expanding its time-charter fleet and using Jones Act waivers, receiving about 20% of exemptions. The fleet has grown fourfold over two years and now supports roughly 40% of the company’s asset-backed crude and product needs. The company reported $3.8 billion in quarterly net income and its stock is up 57% year-to-date despite a recent pullback. The waivers and purchases come as political scrutiny rises over refinery profits amid higher global oil prices. » Plus sur forbes.com
