Pennsylvania Petroleum Products

The Oil Creek Refining Company was founded by Dennis
McGraw and incorporated in 1919-20.
It was a "home-owned" oil refinery and operated in East Titusville. The company was the first to market motor oil in refinery-sealed, disposable cans and invented the first Pennsylvania motor oil with zero-pour.
The Oil Creek Refining Company operated service stations in Titusville, Pleasantville, and Corry. In November 1935 it partnered with Standard Oil of Pennsylvania to sell Esso gasoline products at its service stations.
Socony-Vacuum bought out the Oil Creek Refining Company service stations in 1938 and the company was officially dissolved in July 1942
