Gulf is an iconic global brand in the energy sector, originally established in 1901 following a significant oil discovery at Spindletop in Texas. Historically one of the "Seven Sisters," Gulf played a pivotal role in the development of the modern petroleum industry, including the introduction of the first drive-in filling station.

Today, the brand operates through a complex licensing structure. While the original Gulf Oil Corporation merged with Chevron in the 1980s, the brand rights are now managed by separate entities globally. In the United States, Gulf Oil Limited Partnership manages the brand and distribution, focusing on refined products like Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel. Globally, the Hinduja Group owns the brand rights for most international territories, maintaining the brand's presence in over 100 countries. Manufacturing of the diesel fuel occurs at various refineries worldwide, typically sourced from regional hubs like the U.S. Gulf Coast to ensure efficient distribution to local markets.
