These tools also saved ConocoPhillips the cost of one employee who was redeployed to a higher value job. We’re also saving ConocoPhillips more than $100,000 per year in transportation costs.

Annually, Cole Chemical processes millions of pounds of orders at 43 ConocoPhillips facilities in various parts of the country.
