Pennzoil's current version of their logo. The company has used variations of this logo since the 1920's. Pennzoil is an oil company originally founded in Oil City, Pennsylvania. In 1963, South Penn Oil merged with Zapata Petroleum to become Pennzoil. During the 1970s, the company moved its offices to Houston, Texas. It was then headquartered in Pennzoil Place, a recognizable skyscraper designed by the civil engineer Jack Boyd Buckley of Houston. In 1998, the company merged with onetime rival Quaker State to form Pennzoil-Quaker State. In 2002, the Royal Dutch/Shell Group purchased Pennzoil-Quaker State to form SOPUS--Shell Oil Products US. Both Pennzoil and Quaker State are now marketed together as a result. Image File history File linksMetadata Logo_white_bg. ...

After Shell's purchase of Pennzoil, there was the possibility that the remaining Pennzoil stations--mostly in western PA--would be converted to Shell as part of the company's aggressive movement to expand nationally.

New Castle is a city in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; in 1910, the total population was 36,280; in 1920, 44,938; and in 1940, 47,638. ...
