Cities Service Company (CITGO)

This company got its start right around the turn of the 20th century and 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.

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.
