| Guarantees [Abstract] | |
| Guarantees | Guarantees At March 31, 2026, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantees and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence. Lease Residual Value Guarantees Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2030, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. This agreement includes a residual value guarantee with a maximum potential future exposure of $404 million at March 31, 2026. In addition, we have residual value guarantees associated with railcar, airplane and truck leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $176 million. These leases have remaining terms of to ten years. Guarantees of Joint Venture Obligations In March 2019, Phillips 66 Partners and its co-venturers in Dakota Access provided a CECU in conjunction with a senior unsecured notes offering. See Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, for additional information regarding Dakota Access and the CECU. At March 31, 2026, we also had other guarantees outstanding primarily for our portion of certain joint venture debt, which have remaining terms of up to four years. The maximum potential future exposures under these guarantees were approximately $53 million. Payment would be required if a joint venture defaults on its obligations. Indemnifications Over the years, we have entered into various agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to indemnifications. Agreements associated with these sales include indemnifications for taxes, litigation, environmental liabilities, permits and licenses, employee claims and real estate tenant defaults. The provisions of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnifications are related to environmental issues, which generally have indefinite terms and potentially unlimited exposure. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of recorded indemnifications was $52 million and $53 million, respectively. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have information to support the reversal. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, environmental accruals for known contamination of $49 million and $50 million, respectively, were included in the carrying amount of the recorded indemnifications noted above. These environmental accruals were primarily included within the “Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs” line item on our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments. Additionally, P66 Receivables has guaranteed all borrowings and receivables sold under the Receivables Securitization Facility. At March 31, 2026, $240 million of the sold accounts receivable remained uncollected, which represents our maximum potential future exposure under the guarantee associated with the Receivables Securitization Facility. See Note 9—Debt, for information regarding the guarantee under our Receivables Securitization Facility. Indemnification and Release Agreement In 2012, in connection with our separation from ConocoPhillips, we entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement. This agreement governs the treatment between ConocoPhillips and us of matters relating to indemnification, insurance, litigation responsibility and management, and litigation document sharing and cooperation arising in connection with the separation. Generally, the agreement provides for cross indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of ConocoPhillips’ business with ConocoPhillips. The agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters.
