Jersey Standard was formed within the Standard Oil Trust in 1882, with a name change recorded in 1892. It became independent after the 1911 trust dissolution and adopted the Exxon Corporation name in 1972, while known internationally as Esso.
Accounts date control of Imperial Oil to 1887 or 1898. Anglo-American Oil was established for the British market in 1888, apparently separated in 1911 and acquired in 1930. Jersey took a Humble interest in 1919 and the balance in 1959. Other interests included Turkish, later Iraq, Petroleum from 1928, Iran Oil Participants, Aramco from 1948, and purchases of Monterrey and Honolulu Oil. The Asia-Pacific Standard-Vacuum venture with Socony-Vacuum began in 1933 and was dissolved in 1962.
The Pan-American Foreign fleet was absorbed in 1937. The source’s later succession notes identify Esso Petroleum as the most obvious post-war successor and point to Esso livery in Brown 1951, despite that book’s New York company label. Humble’s 1919 interest is called a majority in one account but 50% in another.
The international shipping network included American Petroleum, later Standard-Amerikaansche; Argentine petroleum transport, later under Esso; Oriental Tankers, renamed Oriental Trade & Transport in 1940; Société Auxiliare, taken over by Standard Française in 1939; and Waried, later Esso Tankschiff Reederei. The Venezuelan connection with Compañia de Petroleo Lago is tentative. Standard Transportation’s supposed 1938 Vacuum merger may confuse the New Jersey and New York organisations. Jersey also managed Keystone and Panama Transport vessels. Rosanoski rejects Talbot-Booth’s claim that Standard Oil of California controlled Jersey.
