Three corporations in the area have announced plans to add more than 1,000 jobs within the next three years, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce announced.

ConocoPhillips expects to add 600 jobs to its facilities in Bartlesville, including 500 employees in the process of relocating from Houston, according to information filed when the company joined the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program.

In return, the company could receive an incentive of up to $22.4 million from the state over the next decade if it meets its hiring goal.

GEA Rainey Corp., a maker of air-cooled heat exchangers at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, said it will add 300 jobs as part of the state program, for a maximum state benefit of $5.3 million.

When GEA Rainey joined a consortium of port companies in the formation of the (888) PORT-JOB (767-8562) hotline in October, Phil Snodgrass, vice president of operations, estimated there were 30 immediate openings at the company.

Frankoma Pottery of Sapulpa estimated it will hire 125 people as part of the state program, for a maximum benefit of $1.6 million.

The ceramic manufacturer, which had closed in December 2004, was reopened last summer after it was purchased by Det Merryman, who is using the plant to make a line of ceramic dogs for his company, Merrymac Collection.

When Merryman purchased the plant, he estimated the facility would employ 50 people by the end of 2005 and 150 people by 2006.

Other companies that recently qualified for the Quality Jobs program include Durant Biofuels LLC of Durant, which expects to hire 175 people; and Bar-S Foods Co. of Altus, which expects to add 250 jobs.

The program allows companies with 75 percent of total sales to out-of-state customers to apply for an incentive in exchange for the creation of jobs.
