- Getty Oil is an oil company founded by J. Paul Getty. It was at its height during the 1960s. In 1971, the Getty Realty division was formed to manage the real estate needs of Getty stations. The division was later spun off, but now owns the rights to the Getty brand. Soon after 1970, the Getty Oil Company sold its European activities to Burmah. At that times its assets included the rights to the Veedol name and a refinery in Gaeta, Italy (which had an associated Getty branded service station. Burmah kept Veedol separate from its main Castrol brand, and the name was still in used in several countries after BP bought Burmah in 2000. In 1984, Texaco bought Getty Oil of Tulsa, Oklahoma. By General Assignment, Conveyance, Bill of Sale and Transfer dated December 31, 1984, Getty Oil Company transferred its upstream interests to Texaco. On November 19, 1985, Pennzoil won a US$10.53 billion verdict from Texaco in the largest civil verdict in US history. In the end, only some of the refineries changed hands, and Getty continued to exist as a downstream entity. Getty gas stations in the Northeast were sold off as a condition of the buyout. At one time, some were co-branded with Mid-Atlantic convenience store chain Uni-Mart, which now sells its own brand of gasoline. The company became known as Getty Marketing. In November 2000, Russian oil company Lukoil purchased Getty Marketing, which had been spun off of Getty Realty, and in 2003 converted a small number of Getty stations to Lukoil. In 2004, Lukoil bought many Mobil stations from ConocoPhillips, which had bought the stations from ExxonMobil in 2000. ExxonMobil sold these stations off due to an antitrust settlement soon after Exxon and Mobil merged. These stations were converted to Lukoil quickly for legal reasons. According to Getty Realty's 2006 annual report, Getty Realty owns the Getty trademark and trade name in the United States and licenses them to Getty Marketing . In Europe the trademark was owned by Texaco before Olaf Westerhoudt acquired the rights in 2007 for an undisclosed amount. At one point, Getty Oil owned a majority stake of ESPN, before it was sold to the American Broadcasting Company in 1984. As of August 2009, many Getty stations in New England have been converted to BP or are in the process of doing so. Evidence of converted stations can could be found in Providence, RI, Athol, MA, Fall River, MA, New Bedford, MA, Woburn, MA, Bloomfield, CT, Southington, CT, Watertown, CT, Danbury, CT, Salem, NH, Lowell, MA, Woonsocket, RI, and Middletown, CT. Lukoil sold Getty Petroleum Marketing to a private investment group in 2011.

Il 19 novembre 1985 Pennzoil vinse una causa da 10,53 miliardi di dollari contro Texaco, nella sentenza in sede civile più grande della storia degli Stati Uniti. Nonostante ciò, solo una piccola parte delle raffinerie di proprietà della Getty Oil furono rilevate, scongiurando il fallimento dell'azienda, sebbene alcune risorse furono messe in partecipazione della Uni-Mart, la quale ora ha il suo marchio di proprietà nella vendita di benzina. Nel novembre del 2000, la compagnia petrolifera russa LUKoil acquistò Getty Marketing, esternata dalla Getty Realty, acquisendo le licenze della società. Getty Oil ebbe un ruolo maggioritario in ESPN, prima che tale società fosse rilevata dall'ABC nel 1984.
