Marathon Petroleum Corporation is an American petroleum refining, marketing, and transportation company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. The company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Oil until a corporate spin-off in 2011.

Marathon Petroleum traces its origin from a number of small oil companies in Ohio that banded together in 1887.[3] These formed The Ohio Oil Company established in Lima, Ohio. It became the largest oil producer in the state.[4] By 1889, the company was acquired by the Standard Oil Trust and six years later its headquarters was moved to Findlay.[5] In 1906, the company built its first oil pipeline, which connected its facilities in Martinsville, Illinois and Preble, Indiana.[6]

After the U.S. Supreme Court ordered its parent company to break up as a result of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 1911, Ohio Oil again became independent.[4][5] It expanded its operations by purchasing oil fields outside of Ohio.[5] The company also started oil refining. In 1924, the company discovered oil in Texas.[4] In the same year, it acquired Lincoln Oil Refining Company. This purchase included a refinery and 17 brand service stations in Indiana. Several years later, Ohio Oil acquired Transcontinental Oil, which – in addition to refineries, storage facilities, and filling stations – the Marathon product name.[6]

Following its acquisition of Andeavor on October 1, 2018, Marathon Petroleum became the largest petroleum refinery operator in the United States, with 16 refineries and over 3 million barrels per calendar day of refining capacity.[7] Marathon Petroleum ranked No. 41 on the 2018 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.[8] In the 2020 Forbes Global 2000, Marathon Petroleum was ranked as the 197th-largest public company in the world.[9]

Marathon Petroleum's marketing system includes branded locations across the United States, including Marathon and ARCO branded outlets.[10] MPC also owns the general partner and majority limited partner interest in MPLX LP, a midstream company which owns and operates gathering, processing, and fractionation assets, as well as crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure.
