Seven Oil Firms Dominate Global Market, U.S. Report Says
A long secret FTC staff study released by a Senate subcommittee says five American and two foreign firms control most world oil through interlocking ownerships and restrictive agreements. The seven giants allegedly coordinate production, prices, and markets across exploration to consumer sales, with widespread influence despite anti cartel laws. The lineup includes Standard Oil of New Jersey, California, Socony-Vacuum, Gulf, and Texas Co., plus Anglo American and Royal Dutch Shell. The report, made public after a government suit over Middle East pricing, will influence a federal grand jury probe into 22 oil companies and six individuals. The findings describe a cartel-like system persisting after World War II.
