    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, (Harris County), 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 (1839-1937). 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, whil…

    The "Continental Oil and Transportation Company" was founded by Isaac Elder Blake in November 1875. Based in Ogden, Utah, the company distributed the recently discovered mineral resources of petroleum / oil (first found in August 1859 by Edwin Drake (1819-1880), in a well drilled at Oil Creek, near Titusville, (Crawford County), in the far northwestern corner of Pennsylvania) and its refined by-products of kerosene, benzene, and other products in the Western United States. Continental Oil Company was acquired by Standard Oil Company in 1884, and was subsequently spun off during the Standard Oil divestiture in 1911.

    The main office was later moved to Ponca City, Oklahoma, when in 1929, Marland Oil Company (founded by exploration pioneer E. W. Marland) acquired the Continental Oil Company. Marland Oil acquired the assets (subject to liabilities) of Continental Oil Company for a consideration of 2,317,266 shares of stock. The merged company took the more recognizable Continental name along with the Conoco brand. However, it adopted Marland's red triangle logo, which it retained until 1970, when the now-familiar capsule logo was adopted.

    Dan Moran (1888-1948, led company 1928-1947), who succeeded Marland Oil Company founder E. W. Marland as president of Marland Oil in 1928, and subsequently became the first president of the merged Conoco. Moran then ran Conoco for twenty years, seeing the company through economic hardships and challenges of the Great Depression of the 1930s, and retiring in 1947, the year before he died. The company ran into early trouble when, shortly after acquisition, it was hit by the Great New York Stock Market Crash of October 1929. Conoco became a key supplier to the United States federal government and its world-wide deployment of the United States Armed Forces, along with several other Allied powers and their militaries during the Second World War (1939/1941-1945).

    Under the leadership of successor Leonard F. McCollum, Conoco grew from a regional petroleum company to a global corporation in the post-war years after World War II of the late 1940s and into the 1950s. Another rough patch for the company came two decades later during the 1970s energy crisis, beginning with the 1973-1974 Arab oil embargo (resulting from the fourth Arab-Israeli conflict of the Yom Kippur War of October 1973), from which it did not fully recover until 1981, when Conoco became a subsidiary of former corporate rival DuPont company of Wilmington, Delaware.

    In 1981, Dome Petroleum made a tender offer for 20% of Conoco. More than 50% of Conoco shares were tendered, evidence th…

    Before the merger, Conoco had its headquarters in what is now the current ConocoPhillips headquarters in the Energy Corridor of Houston; the complex was formerly known as the Conoco Center.

    The headquarters of Conoco moved to Houston, in 1949. In 1965, the headquarters moved back East to Manhattan, in New York City. Seven years later in 1972, the headquarters moved northeast outside New York City to adjacent suburban Stamford, Connecticut; there in Stamford, Conoco occupied space in the three-story High Ridge Park commercial complex, remaining for a decade. In 1982, the DuPont company announced that Conoco's headquarters would move again from Stamford, Connecticut further south down the East Coast to Wilmington, Delaware, where DuPont's headquarters were located since its founding almost 222 years earlier in 1802. The move occurred in 1982. Edward G. Jefferson, the chairperson then of DuPont, said that the headquarters relocation was to bring the head workforces of DuPont and Conoco together. DuPont also announced that it was closing the Conoco offices in Stamford; the lease in the Stamford commercial offices complex was originally scheduled to expire in 1992.

    In 1995, Conoco Inc. was awarded a contract by the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop a huge offshore oilfield in the adjacent Persian Gulf to the south. It was the first energy agreement involving Iran and the United States since Washington severed diplomatic relations 15 years before with Tehran in 1979-1980, during the American Embassy invasion, seizure and occupation there by mobs of student activists and taking U.S. diplomats hostage for a year in the Iran hostage crisis. The contract was signed after three years of protracted negotiations. However, the company dropped the plan after the White House announced that after further consideration and consultation, that 42nd President Bill Clinton (born 1946, served 1993-2001), would issue a directive blocking all such transactions on grounds of national security.
