History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Conoco page on 18 December 2024, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Conoco, formerly known as Continental Oil, is an American petroleum brand that is operating under the current ownership of the Phillips 66 Company since 2012 and is headquartered in the Westchase neighborhood of Houston, Texas. The brand is one of the several successors of the original Standard Oil Company ("oil trust" founded 1870 by industrial titan John D. Rockefeller). Conoco was a subsidiary of that dominant petroleum company from 1884 until its 1911 divestiture when the United States Supreme Court in the federal national capital city of Washington, D.C. in a major significant anti-trust legal case ruled to decouple and break up the monopolized entity of Standard Oil.

Alongside Phillips 66 and 76, it operates as one of the major fuel brands of the Phillips 66 Company. Of those two brands, Conoco has a more dominant presence of gas refueling stations in the markets of the states of Colorado, Texas, Montana, Missouri, and Oklahoma in the Midwestern United States, as well as a growing presence in Eastern Pennsylvania following taking over the retail contracts of several Gulf Oil locations there, while having a complete absence in states such as California to the west and Florida to the far southeast.
