Important Update:
GASTCO INC. is now operating as Standard Oil Trading.
Effective June 19, 2025, GASTCO INC. will be conducting all business under the new trading name Standard Oil Trading. This change marks the next chapter in our evolution as a premier energy and commodities trading firm, aligning our U.S. operations more closely with our international brand and global growth strategy. While our name is changing, our core mission remains the same: to deliver exceptional performance across crude oil, energy minerals, and agricultural markets with the same relentless drive, integrity, and precision our partners have come to trust.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to achieving even greater milestones together under the Standard Oil Corp banner.
