Look in Wiki under Associated Oil company..
Securing agreements from 34 other oil companies in the area the Associated Oil Company was incorporated on October 7, 1901 and on January 1, 1902 began actively producing and marketing crude oil.[4]
The Standard Oil Company and South Pacific Company acquired an interest in Associated Oil for the purposes of transporting their own oil to the San Francisco Bay Area where it would be refined and marketed, jointly the South Pacific Company needed fuel for its railroad steam engines.[2] The Matson's Pacific Oil and Transportation Company was acquired in 1905, which included the Coalinga-Monterey pipeline and a refinery at Gaviota, California including other marine facilities.[2]
