Company Information
Company
History
A century goes by
fast when you're having fun. Or, as in CITGO's
case, when you're growing from a small-town oil
and gas company into a global presence. Known as
the Cities Service Company in the early 1900s, the
company was recognized for its hard work and
successful projects. In 1931, the company
completed the country's first long-distance,
high-pressure natural gas transportation system.
The famous "Big Inch" project was a 24-inch
pipeline that stretched 1,000 miles from Amarillo,
Texas, to Chicago. From the "Big Inch," Cities
Service Company went the extra mile and soon
developed into a fully diversified oil and gas
company with operations worldwide. The company's
familiar green and white logo was recognizable to
motorists everywhere.
The
CITGO Years
In 1965, Cities
Service Company changed its marketing brand to
CITGO. The well-known green and white logo evolved
into the CITGO "Trimark" logo of today, a symbol
of continuing innovation and quality. In the
1990s, CITGO was purchased by Petroleos de
Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company
of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. CITGO is
based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and continues to be a
leading refiner, transporter and marketer of
transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals,
refined waxes, asphalt and other industrial
products. Servicing cities to serving the world,
all in less than 100 years. |

more to CITGO than just gasoline, soft drinks and

refine more than 1 million barrels of crude oil
per day. CITGO markets more than 600 different
types of lubricants and waxes. And did you know
