Wilton and West Hurley, NY Based Distributor Receives Distinguished Status for Excellence in Best Practices

HOUSTON (March 10, 2008) ─ ConocoPhillips Company, the fourth largest U.S. lubricants supplier, today announced that Farrell Oil Co. in Wilton, N.Y., has achieved Top Tier Marketer status for exceeding quality, safety and environmental operations standards.  The elite recognition is awarded to a select number of ConocoPhillips Lubricants distributors that have exceeded the company’s rigorous Marketer Operations Standards practices, which were created to help protect the product quality of the ConocoPhillips Lubricants brands and improve the efficiency of safety and environmental programs, according to Gary Balzhiser, manager of commercial lubricants.

“We are very proud of Farrell Oil Co. and the exceptional work they have done,” said Balzhiser.  “Farrell Oil Co. has proven to be extremely successful in achieving the high operation and quality standards of ConocoPhillips Lubricants and will be joining an elite group of Marketers from across the country that share this distinguished recognition.”

Top Tier status was introduced to ConocoPhillips Lubricants distributors as part of new Marketer Operations Standards guidelines set by the company.  The standards are based on strict American Petroleum Institute (API) recommended practices set forth to ensure oil and lubricants distributors meet all expectations for product quality control and that all lubricants operations are conducted in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner.

“I am extremely proud of all our dedicated employees who work so hard day in and day out to produce the results that have provided us with the recognition from ConocoPhillips as a "Top Tier" Marketer, says Chris Farrell, president. “This further cements our past and present commitment to maintain the highest level of safety and product integrity, which ultimately translates to a service level our customers have come to expect from us. Thank you everyone!"

Lubricants Marketers that receive and distribute bulk oil are eligible for Top Tier status consideration.  Top Tier status is also required for a Marketer to be approved for blending oils, packaging grease and railroad engine oil handling.
