Marathon Oil
Marathon Oil's Gulfstream V, tail N540M, was tracked flying a short 52-minute hop from Chippewa Valley Regional Airport (KEAU) to Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY) on June 26, 2026, arriving just after noon local time.
If Marathon Oil was aboard, the timing would place them in the Chicago area the same week the company's Garyville jet fuel flexibility project — brought online in the first quarter, per a June 16 report on BriefGlance.com — is being tested amid volatile energy markets. The visit also comes as the Martinez renewable diesel refinery strike, now in its third month, continues to draw scrutiny over safety and staffing concerns, as covered by the Bay Area Current on June 25.
The flight follows a pattern of recent trips across the Midwest and East Coast, including multiple hops through Ohio and Wisconsin over the past three days, consistent with Marathon Oil's operational focus on refining and midstream assets in the region.
