How This Kid Built The Biggest Oil Company In The World!

Marcus Samuel turned his father’s London business into one of the most important companies in the history of the oil industry. But the path wasn’t easy. After striking gold and finding the right partnership, Samuel’s business was on the brink of failure after a bitter decade-long rivalry. But ingenious engineering, sponsorship, and deep involvement in both world wars ensured that it would emerge as one of the top 5 oil companies on the planet, even today. This is the story of Shell.

[@TalesOfTrillions]

Love them or hate them, Shell's impact on the world is undeniable. But as we look to the future, it's crucial for companies like Shell to prioritize sustainability and embrace cleaner energy solutions.

Interesting to mention, in Swahili (at least in Tanzania) petrol/gas stations are called sheli which comes from shell

[@rolandruesch6862]

You do realize, that if your town has gas stations from all major oil companies, the stations get the fuel from the same refinery. The additives are just called differently by each company.

Shell could not conquer "The great Indian OIL industry" because Indians consumed Tons of oil 🛢️🪔 in street food and that oil was different from the product, Shell sold. 😊😊

Exxon Mobil & shell + b.p where part of the " 7 sisters" in middle East oil. They owned the patent for refinement, Arabs & Persians got crude oil value as it came out of land , beyond that these 7 western companies did all processing & profits. Interesting to note Samuels is a Jewish name , so are Rothschild, Oppenheimer !

Aramco is the largest oil company in the world atm... Standard Oil used to be the biggest oil company in the world controlling 90% market share in the US at one point in time...
