FTI Consulting is providing DC representation to oil giant Phillips 66 on matters related to the Inflation Reduction Act, infrastructure, sustainability and the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.
Mark Lashier, Phillips CEO, told the Texas Oil & Gas Association’s Lone Star Energy Forum on Nov. 16. “The problem facing the world today isn’t a choice between fossil fuels and alternatives but rather a mix of oil and gas, alternative energy and technologies, such as carbon capture and storage. It’s all hands on deck.”
He said while the oil and gas industry is focused on the right things, “the world doesn’t always understand that.”
Bryan Zumwalt, who heads FTI’s government affairs unit, heads the firm’s five-member Phillips 66 team.
