History

Jet Petroleum Ltd. was formed in Yorkshire in 1954 by Canadian-born John 'Bill' Roberts. Conoco acquired Jet in 1961.[1]

The Jet service station network in Ireland was acquired by Statoil in 1996. Maxol acquired 50 Jet/Statoil-branded sites as a condition of the acquisition.[citation needed]

Parent company Conoco merged with Phillips Petroleum Company in 2002 to form ConocoPhillips.[2]

In September 2007, Statoil also acquired all Nordic stations; however, they continued to use the Jet brand name[3] until 2014 when the Nordic stations were rebranded to the new brand name Ingo.

ConocoPhillips spun off downstream assets to form Phillips 66 Company, which included the Jet service station brand.[4]
