    Little history of oil companies

    All figures taken from God's Oil Country (Zeit 13/2003).
    • 1860: first oil-rush in Titusville, Pennsylvania (cf. gold-rush California 1848, and Alaska 1896). Production: 450,000 barrel in 1860, 3,000,000 barrel in 1862. Price: 10$ in Januar 1861, 10¢ end of 1861, 4$ end of 1862.
    • 1865: John D Rockefeller buys Titusville's most successful refinery for 72,500$.
      1870, he founds Standard Oil Company; continues to dump-price or buy-out competition.
      1879: it controls 90% of US refinery capacity.
      1882: all assets collected in a Trust.
      In the 1880s, Standard Oil's three largest refineries in Philadelphia, Cleveland und in Bayonne/New Jersey produce >25% of world petrol.
      1890: Standard Oil enters also the production of oil (besides refinery, transport and retailing) in the new oil fields of Ohio.
      1891, it produces 25% of American oil.

      USA exports more than half of its petrol production, mainly to Europe.

    • London: Marcus Samuel establishes the Shell Transport and Trading Company.
    • Russia: Nobel and Alphonse Rothschild establish the Baku oil industry (second main oil region).
    • Indonesia: The Royal Dutch Company exploits the third main oil region.
    • 1901: oil-rush in Beaumont, Texas.
      1. Shell contracts main producer James Guffey for ca. 15,000,000 barrel in the next 20 years at 25¢/barrel.
        1903: Shell pushed out of the contract by Guffrey's bank.
        Guffey Petroleum transformed into the Gulf Oil Corporation controlled by that bank's owners, the Mellon family.
      2. Joseph Cullinans' Texas Fuel Company, later Texaco.
    • 1911: The Texas oil boom reduced Standard Oil's share of refinery capacity to 60%. And anti-trust proceedings require Standard Oil to be broken apart:
      1. Largest: Standard Oil of New Jersey (the former holding), later Exxon (Esso in Europe).
      2. Second: Standard Oil of New York, later Mobil (eventually merged with Exxon).
      3. Standard Oil of California, later Chevron (eventually merged with Texaco).
      4. Standard Oil of Ohio, Sohio, later bought by BP.
      5. Standard Oil of Indiana, later Amoco, eventually merged with BP.
      6. Continental Oil becomes Conoco.
      7. Atlantic becomes Sun.
