"We are the world’s only major company that uses most of its production to feed its own refineries, which, in turn, market their products mainly in the domestic market. This characteristic is unique in the world," emphasized the CEO, who highlighted the role the company will play from now on, particularly in the supplier chain.

The world will pass us by again, but what else is new.

LOL, do I get to chose the weapons?
I'm hungry!
In 2008, Marathon produced 243 thousand barrels a day from oil wells ad oil sands.
They refined about a million barrels a day. Most of the oil through their refineries comes from someone else.
