About

Esso is a trading name for ExxonMobil, used by its predecessor Standard Oil of New Jersey after the breakup of the original Standard Oil company in 1911. The name 'Esso' represents the phonetic pronunciation of Standard Oil's initials, 'S' and 'O'. Standard Oil of New Jersey started marketing its products under the Esso brand in 1926. While the Esso name was largely replaced in the U.S. by the Exxon brand in 1972, it remains widely used elsewhere. In most of the world, Esso and Mobil are the primary brand names of ExxonMobil.

A company page draws on the SAFxCHANGE record: the agreement table (2013 to late 2023), the plants table (December 2023) and what the reader has found in the news since, marked unverified until checked. The categories follow the SAFxCHANGE value-chain map; they were assigned from the company's role in the deals and plants and from what is written about it, and a company can fill more than one. Names are matched by their words, so a company recorded under two very different names may show on two pages.
