Gulf Oil began its journey with the discovery of oil in Gulf Of Mexico, Texas, USA by selling Gasoline in containers. In year 1910, Gulf Oil launched first ever offshore drilling operation.

In year 1913, with the launch of the first-ever branded petrol station in Pittsburgh, USA. We have paved the way into the fuel retail sector ever since. Pioneering innovations, breakthrough technologies, high quality products and services, our endeavours towards excellence led to the development and expansion of more sites.

We branded ourselves with the distinctive orange disc which still remains a part of the Gulf Oil logo to this day as a symbol of our excellence. The instantly recognisable orange disc is now synonymous around the world with high quality products, innovation and technical excellence.

During the 1960s, the Gulf Oil brand initiated high profile marketing campaigns, including the sponsorship of the Apollo moon landings. Not many brands can boast about going to the moon and back.
