Shell Gasoline Stations

In 1907, Shell was formed through the merger of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company from the Netherlands and the Shell Transport and Trading Company from the United Kingdom. This union positioned Shell as a significant competitor to the American Standard Oil Company. By 1920, Shell had risen to become the world’s largest oil producer. It was also part of the “Seven Sisters,” a collective of major companies dominating the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s until the mid-1970s. Today, Shell operates a vast network of over 40,000 gasoline stations and oil refineries and engages in a wide range of business activities across various product and market sectors.
