 A couple fun infographics I saw this morining
 
 
 In 1904 Standard controlled 91% of oil production and 85% of final sales in the US
 These are just the biggest results of that split. Standard was actually broken in to 34 companies. Other notables: Pennzoil (now under Shell), Vaseline (Unilever), and Union Tank Car Company (Berkshire Hathaway)
 
  
 
 
 
 Also, the global oil market is worth about $1.72T a year compared to $660B for all metals and minerals combined.
