In a statement released Wednesday, Findlay Mayor Christina Muryn clarified the news of the selling of Marathon Oil (MRO) to ConocoPhillips, and that this sale will not affect the city of Findlay. 

 

The Mayor states that Marathon Petroleum (MPC) was not part of the deal because in 2011, MPC and MRO both split in 2011. This divided the two organizations where MRO does oil exploration and production. While MPC is a petroleum refining, marketing, and transportation company. 

 

Marathon Oil is based out of Houston, Texas.
