Marathon Oil
Marathon Oil flew from Galveston to Gary/Chicago International Airport on June 8, a 32-minute hop in its Gulfstream V (N540M). The aircraft departed K5I6 just after 6 p.m. local and arrived at KGYY shortly before 7 p.m., cruising at an unusually low 9,925 feet.
The trip lands the same week Marathon Oil operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, following the merger that closed in November 2024, per [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1163165/000110465924122112/tm2428935d2_ex99-1.htm). Chicago is not among Marathon Oil's typical recurring destinations (KOKC, KMSP, KIAD, KAUS, KORD, OMDB), but Gary sits 25 miles from downtown — close enough for meetings with ConocoPhillips' Midwest operations or legal counsel still working through post-merger integration.
The flight follows a day of short hops across Indiana and Ohio, suggesting a regional itinerary rather than a single destination. Marathon Oil's home base remains Houston Bush Intercontinental, but the post-merger footprint has shifted some travel patterns toward legacy ConocoPhillips hubs.
