Amoco
Amoco, originally the American Oil Company, was a major American oil company founded in 1913. It was known for extracting, refining, and selling petroleum products. Over the years, Amoco became one of the largest oil producers in the U.S. Its operations included exploring for oil, refining it into gasoline and other fuels, and distributing these products. In 1998, Amoco was acquired by BP (British Petroleum), becoming part of one of the world's leading energy companies. Today, the Amoco brand still appears in some markets, especially for gasoline stations, symbolizing a long history of oil industry expertise.
