the company’s expertise in searching for oil became increasingly important as a may 1911 supreme court decision separated standard oil co. (california) from its parent, a giant new york - based corporation. the decision concluded the government’s 4 1 / 2 - year suit under the sherman antitrust act against the standard oil co. (new jersey), its subsidiaries and affiliates .

(chevron photo )
with the merger came a new name for the company: chevron corporation – the name by which gasoline and other products had been known for decades in the united states and under which the company operated in many non - u. s. locations .
world war ii also created a boom in petrochemical demand. socal invested more than $ 9 million to boost production of synthetic toluene – the second “t” in tnt. when the supply of natural rubber from southeast asia was cut off, the company erected a plant at el segundo to supply butadiene for synthetic rubber .
socal engineers achieved a major feat in building a pipeline over the highest pass any line had ever crossed. the pipeline brought oil from the rangely field to a newly constructed refinery in salt lake city .
undeterred, socal next focused on the middle east, an area with no history of discoveries and no obvious petroleum prospects. the company gained its first foothold in the region in 1928 when gulf oil corporation offered its bahrain concession to socal (in a move that unknowingly foreshadowed the merger with gulf by more than half a century) .
our new association with alan johnson and the al - anabi team is a major step forward for us ,
red line oil director of sales and marketing cameron evans said .
it shows how well our products are being accepted around the world. the history and success of alan johnson, as well as drivers larry dixon and del worsham, is something that we have always admired. combined with our association with kalitta motorsports, the technical feedback that we will gain from this partnership is tremendously exciting for red line. it is a similar step to when we became technically involved with nascar racing in the 1980s .
al - anabi racing will begin using the red line products next week during pre - season testing at palm beach international raceway in florida. both al - anabi dragsters will participate in the closed test session jan. 31 through feb. 3 at the jupiter, fla. race track .
standard excelled in developing new products, such as the line of petrochemicals manufactured to support the allied effort in world war i. this production of benzol, toluol and xylol was a forerunner of the impressive line of petrochemicals that the company developed following the onset of the second world war .
following upon the success of red crown automobile gasoline, standard introduced red crown aviation fuel in 1918, promoting the product through advertisements and through wider commitment to the growth of the aviation industry. in 1924, the company painted town names on the rooftops of its bulk plants to help guide aviators flying overhead .

during the 1970s, the petroleum industry was confronted by many political issues – from the 1973 oil embargo to the nationalization of company assets by libya, venezuela and other oil producers .
“we’re excited about lyden oil joining us as the rush sportsman modified divisional sponsor, ” stated sharon gm dave willoughby. “all of our other divisional sponsors returned and we’re honored for them to be our first to present the rush sportsman mods. we were happy with the growth of the division last year, and how the racing really improved. with the returning drivers having more experience and others set to enter the class, it should be an exciting season for the lyden oil / red line rush sportsman modifieds. ”
d4 atf is a fully - synthetic product designed with superior low - temperature properties compared to a dexron iii® fluid, and the improved shear - stability requirements which is part of the mercon v® specifications .
the lyden oil / red line sportsman modifieds are under the sweeney chevrolet buick gmc rush banner for their third year in existence and will begin their second year as a full - time weekly division. the division averaged 12 cars per night during eight appearances in 2014 and the average count grew to 15 last year. several new competitors have already made plans to join the division in 2016 as car counts are expected to grow again .
in november 1932, the company assigned the concession to its newly formed subsidiary, california arabian standard oil co. (casoc), later to become arabian american oil co. , or aramco .
in 1926, standard boosted its production capacity by almost 50 percent when it acquired pacific oil co. , an organization that handled the oil properties of southern pacific railroad. the company marked this achievement by creating a new corporate structure with a new name – standard oil co. of california, or socal .
the efforts of employees received many kudos from u. s. military and government leaders, such as general douglas macarthur, who wrote: “to the men and women of standard of california: we, the soldiers of the fighting line, give thanks to you soldiers of the production line for the sinews of war that made our victory possible. ”
chevron’s ability to grow through alliances was an important factor in its success – and an acknowledgement that the industry’s best opportunities often involved mega - projects that required the resources of more than a single corporation. this awareness continued to resonate as the face of the industry changed through mergers and acquisitions, which fundamentally altered the energy business – and the competitive stakes .
red line water wetter cooling system treatment provides corrosion and rust protection for modern aluminum and cast iron cooling systems. this unique additive reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 20 degrees f. it can be used in plain water to provide much better heat transfer properties and protection than glycol - based antifreeze, or added to new or used antifreeze to fortify inhibitors and reduce foaming .
the onset of world war ii changed everything for the company – from the product line to the lives of its employees. with the entry of the united states into the war in december 1941, socal became a key supplier of crude oil and refined products for the allies in the pacific .
the first successful oil well in california, pico no. 4 launched california as an oil - producing state and demonstrated the spirit of innovation, ingenuity, optimism and risk - taking that has marked the company ever since .
the era of easy oil is over ,
said then chevron ceo david j. o' reilly .
in 1951, the company created the oronite chemical co. to market a growing output of petrochemicals. three years later, the richmond refinery completed the nation’s first unit to manufacture paraxylene, a basic material for making dacron and other synthetic fibers .
as the company grew, it changed structurally. in 1906, a consolidation between pacific coast oil and iowa standard created a new entity, standard oil co. (california), finalizing an integration that had existed for six years .
divested from its parent company in 1911, standard oil co. (california) had strong financial discipline, an impressive product line, marketing savvy, a growing refining system, a flexible marine fleet and an extensive pipeline network. one critical challenge remained: finding the energy to meet spiraling demand in a dynamic marketplace .
red line assembly lube is designed to be used as a lubricant to apply to potential wear surfaces before assembly in order to prevent metal contact upon startup before adequate lubrication is supplied. this product will mix with the oil and not plug filters, and can be used on all lubricated parts such as cams, followers, pistons, and bearings, and bolt threads. use only a small amount on bearing and piston surfaces – too much can make it difficult to turn over the engine. do not use on exhaust bolts or other high
with u. s. crude oil supplies depleted by the allies’ military needs during world war i, standard oil co. of california (socal) began seeking oil and gas reserves beyond u. s. shores in the postwar years. the long, intrepid quest would take more than 10 years before the company made its first international discovery in june 1932 .
lacking iowa standard’s marketing savvy and financial clout, coast oil had been struggling, despite its successful record of exploration and production. as a result, in 1900, coast oil agreed to be acquired by iowa standard, while retaining the name of pacific coast oil co. through the acquisition, iowa standard gained a presence in the production, transportation and refining businesses .
hi, i' m a road racer. we' re beating cars for extended periods on the track. every racer i know uses red line water wetter. for track days - non - competitive track time, and time trials, many people use water wetter with coolant. it increases the boiling point of the coolant mixture. i would recommend it for any vehicle, as it will only make the coolant work better .
standard oil co. (california) scored big in december 1913 when it purchased the murphy oil co. holdings in west coyote and east whittier. by 1917, standard had added two other great southern california discoveries in the montebello and baldwin no. 3 fields .
lyden oil company was founded in 1919, and 97 years later remains true to their roots by continuing to deliver high quality bulk lubricants at the best price. they carry full product lines from many different major brands, as well as their own brand, proguard® and they have now added the redline synthetic oils to their offering. now, more than ever before, lyden oil is able to take care of every aspect of their customer’s needs, from finding the right product and equipment to use that product, to creating a delivery schedule so that the tanks are never empty .
lacking the capital it would need to seize marketing opportunities in this growing area, california star was acquired by the pacific coast oil co. on sept. 10, 1879. colonel charles felton, coast oil’s president, had incorporated the company less than seven months earlier, on feb. 19, 1879 .
socal had already found a potential market for its middle eastern oil by creating a historic partnership with texaco in 1936. the joint venture, which became known as the california texas oil company, or caltex, melded the company’s middle eastern exploration and production rights with texaco’s extensive marketing network in africa and asia .
undeterred, petroleum pioneers demetrius scofield and frederick taylor of the california star oil works, a chevron predecessor, took aim at pico canyon, a remote portion of the rugged santa susana mountains. in september 1876, driller alex mentry succeeded in striking oil in pico no. 4, despite rattlesnakes, wasps, mud and underbrush .
working in searing heat, the team met with success on june 1, 1932, after the bit pierced a layer of blue shale and the crew smelled oil .
to offset the depression’s dramatic impact on earnings, the company stimulated sales by bringing out solidly researched new products, including standard gasoline in 1931, flight and standard penn motor oils in 1932, standard unsurpassed gasoline with tetraethyl lead in 1934, delo (diesel engine lubricating oil) in 1935, and rpm motor oil in 1936 .
the resumption of peace following world war ii infused standard oil co. of california (socal) with new energy, new opportunities and an enterprising quest for new oil and gas resources. to satisfy the growing need for petroleum products, the company frequently devoted more than two - thirds of its annual expenditures to exploration and development .
the company entered the canadian market in 1935 when standard oil co. of british columbia was launched in a two - room suite of the hotel vancouver. that same year, the company moved quickly, purchasing local oil distribution companies, acquiring service stations, establishing dealerships, starting a new refinery and acquiring a tanker, the b. c. standard .
as standard oil co. of california (socal) began its second century, it had become a major company in the united states and the chevron brand was becoming familiar around the world. the company had ownership in 50 refineries, with a production capacity of almost 3 million barrels per day and featured the third - largest fleet among oil companies worldwide .
u. s. expansion continued in 1961 when the company merged with standard oil co. (kentucky), the market leader in petroleum products in five southeastern states. to serve this market with crude oil from fields in the gulf of mexico, the company constructed the 100, 000 - barrel - a - day refinery at pascagoula, mississippi, in 1963 .
chevron' s earliest predecessor, pacific coast oil co. , was incorporated in 1879 in san francisco. the first logo contained the company name against a backdrop of wooden derricks set among the santa susana mountains that loomed over pico canyon. this was the site of the company' s pico no. 4 field, california' s earliest commercial oil discovery. (chevron photo )
spurred by memories of the gold rush, hordes of prospectors descended on california in the 1860s, seeking another kind of bounty – black gold, or oil. their early efforts were fruitless .
until now, standard had left the hunt for oil to others. in 1909, the company decided to gamble on its ability to find its own oil. after several initial failures, the drilling team had its first success on jan. 22, 1910, when a gusher flowed in at 1, 500 barrels a day at the midway - sunset field in kern county, california .
in addition to demonstrating its overall growth, the company reaffirmed its pioneering spirit by naming demetrius scofield, who tapped the company’s first well, to be president of the standard oil co. (california) .
the company became the second largest u. s. - based energy company, with more than 11 billion barrels of oil and equivalent gas reserves and 2. 4 million barrels per day of refining capacity .
chevron’s development of oil and natural gas from shale and tight rock formations has intensified since the company entered the marcellus shale through its acquisition of atlas energy in 2011. by 2016, in addition to the marcellus, the company was developing tight oil or liquids - rich gas shales in the permian basin of the southwestern united states, the vaca muerta shale in argentina, and the duvernay shale in canada. chevron already had a strong legacy position in the permian basin as one of its largest producers of oil and natural gas. and with approximately 2 million net acres of resources, chevron is the basin’s largest net acreage holder .
a standard oil geologist examined a rock specimen in the venezuelan andes in 1958, where there was an effort to build on the discovery of oil at the country’s boscan field a decade earlier. during the years following world war ii, the company mounted an aggressive exploration program, which led to discoveries as far ranging as the u. s. gulf of mexico, canada, saudi arabia and indonesia. (chevron photo )
in the face of adversity, employees summoned up their “standard spirit” and pressed ahead. during this time, women broke new ground, playing increasingly important roles in offices, laboratories, refineries, service stations and, occasionally, oil fields .
in western europe, socal agreed to dissolve the caltex structure in that area and split its operations between the two parent companies, socal and texaco. to manage a share of the divided operations, the company created chevron oil europe in 1967 .
in 1993, chevron became the first major western oil company to enter the newly independent kazakhstan. chevron ceo ken derr and kazakhstan president nursultan nazarbayev signed an agreement creating the tengizchevroil joint venture to develop the giant tengiz field. (chevron photo )
nevertheless, the decade was marked by numerous milestones, including major discoveries ranging from the west pembina field in alberta, canada, to the ninian field in the united kingdom north sea, and from the middleton and north apoi oil fields in nigeria in 1972 to the giant hibernia field offshore newfoundland in 1979. with these discoveries, socal achieved a production record of more than 3. 5 million barrels of oil equivalent in 1976, a year in which the world rebounded from an economic recession .
in 1878, standard oil co. opened a three - person, second - story office in san francisco. despite its modest trappings, standard possessed marketing acumen, outstanding products, an aggressive advertising philosophy and financial backing from its new york parent .
also in the u. s. gulf of mexico, chevron achieved first oil from the tahiti field in may 2009. in approximately 4, 100 feet (1, 250 meters) of water, tahiti featured the deepest producing well in the gulf .
in 1977, the company made a major organizational change when it formed chevron u. s. a. inc. , merging six domestic oil and gas operations into one. this change was driven by the need to establish a nationwide identity and a consolidated organization .
in addition to its world - class assets and strong corporate culture, texaco had the experience of integrating getty oil co. ’s operations and people following the 1984 acquisition of getty. in 1999, chevron initiated a series of talks with texaco, which proved unsuccessful .
after buying 500 acres of rolling lands on the northeast shore of san francisco bay in 1901, standard completed the richmond refinery a year later. to feed this new colossus of west coast refineries, standard laid a pipeline from richmond to the prolific new oil fields at kern river and coalinga .
internationally, standard had major successes at the acheson field near edmonton, canada, and the boscan field in venezuela. and in saudi arabia, when drilling resumed in 1947, the company learned that its concession area in the enala anticline contained the largest oil pool in the world—105 miles of productive sands .
with a price tag of $ 13. 3 billion, it was the largest merger in corporate history at the time – and a strong marriage of assets, corporate philosophy and the varied talents of two organizations’ employees. by acquiring gulf, socal nearly doubled its worldwide proved oil and gas reserves overnight .
our company has a long, robust history, which began when a group of explorers and merchants established the pacific coast oil co. on sept. 10, 1879. since then, our company’s name has changed more than once, but we’ve always retained our founders’ spirit, grit, innovation and perseverance .
fortunately, standard had the right person for the job in fred hillman, who became director of the producing department in 1911. within four years, standard moved from sixth place to first among california’s oil producers. and by 1919, standard’s production had grown to more than one - quarter of the state’s total .
socal’s marketing reach now extended far beyond the original five - state base in the western united states. after acquiring the perth amboy refinery in 1945, the company used it as a manufacturing base a couple of years later when it launched an expanded marketing network in 12 eastern states through its subsidiary, california oil co .
standard expanded its fleet in 1970 by adding six new very large crude carriers (vlccs), supertankers of 250, 000 or more tons. the vlccs allowed the company to move bulk oil around the southern tip of africa, avoiding any supply disruptions such as occurred in 1967 with the closing of the suez canal .
within the next year, coast oil built california’s largest and most modern refinery, with a capacity of 600 barrels a day, at point alameda on san francisco bay; constructed a pipeline that linked pico canyon with the southern pacific’s train station at elayon in southern california; and undertook an extensive, largely successful drilling program .
recognizing the cooperation and mutual confidence throughout the company, president kenneth kingsbury in 1923 described this all - important attribute as the “standard oil spirit, ” which “represents, on the part of the personnel, a fine enthusiasm for the company, and a concern for its welfare, of which the company is justly proud. ”
by 1885, it consolidated its western interests under its subsidiary, the standard oil co. (iowa), which controlled distribution stations throughout the west coast. iowa standard quickly became the area’s major seller of kerosene, and by 1900, the company controlled a staggering 96. 5 percent of the western market in light oils .
as standard oil co. (california) entered the 1920s, the market’s insatiable need for petroleum products continued. in 1925 alone, the company’s three refineries at richmond, el segundo and bakersfield produced more than 56 million barrels of petroleum products as well as 13. 6 million pounds of greases and 340, 000 tons of asphalt .
the company’s chance came virtually overnight. gulf oil corp. , the nation’s fifth - largest petroleum company, had been under siege from an investor group seeking to gain control of the company and sell it piecemeal for a quick profit. after warding off a takeover bid, gulf’s board of directors chose to offer the company up for sale .
through the gulf merger, chevron became the no. 1 u. s. refiner and marketer as well as the nation’s market leader in gas liquids. by 1988, when the company acquired $ 2. 5 billion in properties from tenneco, chevron became the leading oil and gas producer in the u. s. gulf of mexico .
before the end of 1911, standard oil co. (california) added to its refining capacity with the completion of the el segundo plant in southern california, formed the california natural gas co. to expand its search for natural gas in the san joaquin valley and beyond, and constructed a second pipeline linking richmond and the kern river field .
throughout this period, socal developed a wide range of new products, including chevron and chevron supreme gasoline, introduced in 1945; rpm motor oils in 1950; “skypower” gasolines in 1956; new chevron supreme gasoline and new rpm supreme motor oil in 1957; and chevron custom supreme, the first three grade gasoline in the west, in 1959 .
standard oil co. (california) also steadily expanded its service station network. it became the western leader by the end of 1919 with a total of 218 stations, more than the next three rivals combined. by 1926, the number of service stations in the company' s five - state marketing area more than tripled, to 735 units .
in late 1949, when caltex pacific finally resumed development of the field, the company realized that minas was an oil giant, which would yield 1 billion barrels over a 17 - year period, from 1952 to 1969. caltex pacific would gain major additional production from the duri field, which was discovered in 1941 and developed during the early 1950s .
in the decade following the war, socal’s major u. s. discoveries included the kelly - snyder field in west texas; the main pass, bay marchand and romere pass fields in the offshore waters of the gulf of mexico, where the company became the largest oil producer as of 1949; and the rangely field in the rockies of colorado .
the search began in december 1920, when a 25 - person exploratory team sailed from san francisco to bondoc peninsula in the philippines, followed by a freighter carrying 1, 000 tons of equipment. meanwhile, other socal crews were deployed as far afield as alaska and colombia in the quest for oil. despite each location’s geological promise, the quest proved elusive .
and yet the larger picture was unsettling, prompting the company to conclude that its normal business strategies simply wouldn’t be enough. chairman of the board george keller expressed this view when he said, “over the next decade, the oil business will become increasingly competitive. ” he added, “flexibility in swiftly adapting to change will be mandatory for success—and possibly survival. ”
hillman’s earliest oil and gas exploration successes came at midway, where the company made seven discoveries in an 18 - month period, including the largest, mcnee no. 4, which produced a record 30, 000 barrels a day in april 1912. that same month, derby no. 1 blew out with a daily flow of gas estimated at 63 million cubic feet .
with forecasters predicting that the world' s energy demand could increase by about one - third by 2040, the world will need all the energy that can be produced from every available source, including natural gas, crude oil, coal, renewables and nuclear. chevron is committed to working safely and responsibly to help develop that energy through an unmatched array of major capital projects .
chevron began production from its tahiti field, the deepest producing field in the u. s. gulf of mexico, in may 2009. one of the largest crude oil and natural gas reservoirs in the gulf, the field was developed after the company used 3 - d imaging signals to penetrate 2 - mile - high layers of salt and visualize the full extent of the field .
on july 24, mcnee no. 10 came in at 2, 480 feet, flowing at 10, 000 barrels a day and prompting hillman to send his former employer at ohio oil a cable that read: “can you match it, or do i take first place? ” two days later, hillman’s question was answered when the same well broke loose, at least doubling its output .
in 2015, chevron continued progress on the company’s development projects to deliver future production growth. chevron achieved first production at the lianzi project in the angola–republic of the congo joint development area, the moho bilondo phase 1b project in republic of the congo and the agbami 3 project in nigeria, and continued to ramp up production at the jack / st. malo project in the u. s. gulf of mexico. jack and st. malo are two of the largest oil and gas fields ever discovered in the deepwater gulf, with reservoirs more than 26, 000 feet deep, under 7, 000 feet of water. with a capacity of 177, 000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the jack / st. malo floating production unit is the largest that chevron has in the gulf of mexico .
