		Since then, Amoco has grown into a global oil and gasoline conglomerate; it was merged with British Petroleum in 1998 to form BP Amoco, which was later rebranded to BP.
		Amoco was formed as Standard Oil (Indiana) in 1889 by John D. Rockefeller as part of the Standard Oil trust.

	Case: NRC v. Amoco - Plews Shadley Racher & Braun, Indiana
		Amoco ultimately concluded through testing that the contamination was confined to the leased premises and had not spread to adjacent land or groundwater.
		Amoco contends that the district court should have limited the damages to the.327 acre leased parcel because the contamination did not spread beyond that area.
		Amoco asks this Court to rely on the general rule in Indiana that the proper measure of damages for loss of use of property is the fair rental value of that property during the time of the injury.

	Bowen v. Amoco Pipeline Co.
		Amoco did not, however, explain the information contained in the line sheet, which was technical and difficult to read, until the arbitration hearing when its employee testified that approximately 1,000 feet of pipeline was replaced in 1950.
		Amoco contended that, despite the contamination in the soil around its pipelines, the hydrocarbon levels in the groundwater did not exceed EPA standards, and because the pollution in the soil was not reaching the water table, it was not reaching the creek.
		Amoco argues that this memo was directed at the geological department and therefore proves nothing regarding its record-keeping practices in the pipeline department.

	77999 -- Amoco Production Co. V. Wilson, Inc. -- Larson -- Kansas Supreme Court
		Amoco did have a valid oil and gas lease on the N/2 of Section 35 from the Hugoton formation down to 3,400 feet, and the parties drilled and have apparently jointly operated a producing gas well from the Panoma Council Grove formation as the result of the 1980 agreement.
		Amoco acknowledges that doubtful language is to be construed against the drafter but points out we have said this is of little consequence where the parties are of equal bargaining power and each have had the opportunity to fully examine the proposed contract provision before the contract is executed.
		Amoco speaks of this case as involving sophisticated parties who agreed that if either contributed an oil and gas lease that did not provide marketable title to explore for minerals within the Unit Area, their ownership therein would be revised on an acreage basis.

	OSCN Found Document:White v. Amoco Production Co.
		After Amoco was unable to negotiate the purchase of an oil and gas lease covering White's mineral interest or to procure White's participation in the drilling of the proposed well, it filed its forced pooling application on December 31, 1981 naming White as one of the respondents.
		Amoco's witnesses did not appear at the scheduled hearing and the cause was continued for five days.
