Gulf Oil has its origins in Texas, on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, from which the company’s name was derived. More than century ago, in the year 1901, Gulf operated the first high volume oil well, called Spindletop. Pushing out 100,000 barrels a day, Spindletop provided the fuel for man’s evolution from pedestrian to motorist and during its long History, Gulf has been responsible for some of the landmark developments in the oil and transport sector. Its current portfolio offers one of the widest product ranges of any oil company. Gulf Oil grew steadily in the inter-war years and was a strong oil company with operations including exploration, production, transport, refining and marketing. Today, Gulf Oil International (GOI), U.K., a Hinduja Group company, is a vibrant oil company with
operations in over 70 countries all over the world.

Gulf Oil International is committed to strategic growth and strives to continue to improve the brand for the next generation of customers. But in doing so, Gulf has not forgotten the principles upon which it was originally envisioned of providing quality service and innovative products. Gulf continues to endeavour to merge Gulfs past legacy with Gulf’s current modern technological capabilities to further strengthen a dynamic brand for the new millennium. The promise of global customer satisfaction continues to be an intrinsic part of Gulf’s worldwide philosophy.
