Amoco





Amoco is a United States oil company formed from the dissolution of Standard Oil.

It was originally Standard Oil of Indiana, or Stanolind despite the fact
that its headquarters was in Chicago, Illinois. Early operations centered on
the Whiting, Indiana refinery. It sometimes still uses the Standard brand to
sell oil in midwestern states. It is now part of BPAmoco following a merger
with British Petroleum.

Indiana Standard expanded from its midwestern roots by acquiring The
American Oil Company (Amoco) along the eastern US coast and Pan-Am Petroleum
in the southeastern US.
