Atlantic Richfield Company ARCO is an American oil company with operations in the United States Indonesia the North Sea the South China Sea and Mexico. It has more than 1300 gas stations in the western part of the United States and recently as of 2017 five gas stations in northwestern Mexico. ARCO was formed by the merger of East Coast-based Atlantic Refining and California-based Richfield Oil Corporation in 1966; the company's name is an initialism of the two companies. A merger in 1969 brought in Sinclair Oil Corporation. In the 1970s and 80s ARCO was one of the largest companies in the world consistently a top 20 company of the Fortune 500. After its subsequent fracture in the late 1980s and early 90s ARCO became a subsidiary of UK-based BP plc in 2000 through its BP West Coast Products LLC BPWCP affiliate. On August 13 2012 it was announced that Tesoro would purchase ARCO and its refinery for $2.5 billion. The deal came under fire because of increasing fuel prices. Many activists urged state and federal regulators to block the sale because of concerns that it would reduce competition and could lead to higher fuel prices at ARCO stations ARCO stations make up more than half of all stations with the lowest fuel prices in California. On June 3 2013 BP sold ARCO and the Carson Refinery to Tesoro for $2.5 billion. BP sold its Southern California terminals Vinvale Colton San Diego Hathaway and Hynes to Tesoro Logistics LP including the Carson Storage Facility. BP sold the ampm brand to Tesoro for Southern California Arizona and Nevada. BP exclusively licensed the ARCO rights from Tesoro for Northern California Oregon and Washington.
