Pennzoil Co., headquartered in Houston,
Texas is a large oil producing, refining, and marketing company. Pennzoil
traces its origins back to two companies, Zapata Petroleum and South Penn Oil
Company. In 1983 Pennzoil signed an agreement with Getty Oil for the purchase
of Getty. Several days after public announcement of the agreement, Texaco
purchased all of Getty Oil. Subsequently, Pennzoil filed a lawsuit against
Texaco for interfering with its agreement with Getty Oil. After four years of
trial, Pennzoil was awarded a $10.3 billion settlement in 1988. At the time the
settlement was the largest in history.
The oral history collection, donated by the Pennzoil Co. of Houston,
includes audiocassette tapes and transcripts of interviews about the legal
dispute and trial between American oil companies Pennzoil and Texaco and the
background research for the interviews.
