Wood River and Roxana, IL: Shell and Phillips 66 Refinery

Phillips 66: (Satellite)

My brother used to work for Shell Pipeline as an accountant. And one of the places he worked at was Wood River. If I remember correctly, he told me that Shell pioneered product pipelines. That is, instead of pumping crude oil, they would pump products such as gasolene, kerosene, diesel fuel, etc.

I think this is Shell
