ExxonMobil

 

The corporate entities that would become Exxon and Mobil began the 20th century as components of one company. At the end of the century, they came together as a single premier organization. For most of the years in between, they blazed separate trails as independent, competing enterprises. Each company placed a singular imprint on the energy industry and on a dynamic era of world history.

In 1998, Exxon and Mobil signed a definitive agreement to merge and form a new company called Exxon Mobil Corporation. "This merger will enhance our ability to be an effective global competitor in a volatile world economy and in an industry that is more and more competitive," said Lee Raymond and Lou Noto, chairmen and chief executive officers of Exxon and Mobil, respectively. After shareholder and regulatory approvals, the merger was completed November 30, 1999.

Betsi Lueth Bixby and her company Meridian Associates, Inc. currently assist over 2,500 of this country’s petroleum marketers increase cash flow and profits through education, strategic planning facilitation, merger mediation, business valuation and brokerage services and software.  Her message is one of executable steps and core competencies that every petroleum marketer needs to know.

 Betsi has been the most widely read expert in the industry for over a decade. Through her monthly Money Matters column published by the Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA) and many state and regional petroleum, c-store, and propane associations, plus her own subscription newsletter, The Meridian Financial Advantage, Betsi clarifies and simplifies complicated subjects into concrete step-by-step processes that dramatically impact company performance and profits.  Betsi is also a member of the National Petroleum News (NPN) Editorial Advisory Board.

A financial sharp shooter, Betsi is well known for the value she brings to the industry:

“Attending Meridian’s Focus on Finance each year has translated to at least $350,000 annual savings at our 42 million gallon jobbership” says Ron King, CFO of R. V. Jensen.  Each year since 1992, hundreds of marketers attend Betsi’s hard-hitting three-day workshop, now dubbed as “The Best Workshop in the Industry.”

“Everyone should have Betsi value their petroleum business,” says Don Babb, former owner of Bolyn Lubricants.  “We had Betsi value two acquisitions, plus our own company.  Each time she ended up being right on target.”  By customer demand, Betsi began Meridian’s highly successful Valuation and Brokerage division in late 1999.  Betsi and Meridian quickly earned a reputation for accurate valuations and have continued to achieve great success facilitating highly confidential sales of family-owned petroleum companies.

With a commercial banking background before starting Meridian in 1991, Betsi saw the need for industry-specific financial analysis software that would work seamlessly with all the myriad of good general ledger programs already used in the industry.  “We use CashTracker® not just for internal analysis, but also as a management reporting and training tool.  It’s indispensable” says Kaye Thompson of E.J. Pope and Sons. 

With instant acceptance of CashTracker® by the industry, Betsi and Meridian went on to solve another industry problem, equipment tracking, with a second innovative software product.  Originally designed to keep track of loaned and leased petroleum equipment, Equipment Tracker and a similar product, Equipment Manager for general asset tracking and ticklers, now simplify what was once a complicated and often neglected task.

The National Biodiesel Board is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to coordinating the biodiesel industry and educating the public about the fuel. Biodiesel is a clean-burning, domestically produced alternative fuel made from fats or oils, like soybean oil, that can be used in any diesel engine with few or no modifications to the engine. It can be used in its pure form (B100), or blended with petroleum diesel at any level—most commonly 20% (B20). It is nontoxic, biodegradable and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. It is also the only alternative fuel to have completed Health Effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Biodiesel offers similar fuel economy, horsepower and torque to petroleum diesel while providing superior lubricity. More than 50 major fleets use biodiesel and the fuel has been proven in more than 30 million successful on-road miles. Biodiesel can be used to meet Alternative Fuel Vehicle requirements of the Energy Policy Act (EPACT), and it's one of the most rapidly growing alternative fuels in the United States. The National Biodiesel Board offers the most complete biodiesel Web site in the United States.

NASM was founded in 1974 by Texaco petroleum marketers as a non-profit organization, and was expanded to include marketers of Shell petroleum products in 1999. As the conversion from Texaco to Shell retail outlets has progressed, the Association has evolved into an exclusively Shell marketer organization. However, marketers supplied Texaco petroleum products by Shell Oil Products US (Shell) and Motiva Enterprises LLC (Motiva) will remain eligible for membership through June 2006.

One of the primary objectives of NASM is improved communications between marketers and Shell/Motiva, federal agencies, the U.S. Congress, and other petroleum/convenience store (c-store) industry associations for the purpose of attaining mutually satisfactory solutions to the problems facing petroleum marketers/c-store operators, and the industry as a whole.

The chief goals of NASM are: to enhance the marketing capabilities of individual marketers; to assist marketers in understanding and complying with the legislative and regulatory requirements of the federal government and the contractual requirements and policies of Shell/Motiva; to assure marketers are provided a fair, equitable, and competitive market in which to distribute their products; to assist Shell/Motiva and their marketers to grow the Shell brand; and to facilitate Shell/Motiva being the supplier of choice of NASM members.

NASM provides a forum for networking and solving mutual problems pertaining to the petroleum/c-store industry as well as Shell-specific issues. Continuing professional assistance and business education is provided by NASM for its members in the form of a monthly newsletter, other written publications, meetings, seminars, conventions, and daily telephone contact. The NASM office is located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area where a full-time staff is employed. Legal and technical counsel is also retained by NASM to provide consultation service for the membership and staff. The Association is governed by an Executive Committee and Board of Directors, all of whom are supplied by Shell/Motiva and are elected by their peers.

Tobacco is an important part of this country’s heritage and has touched every aspect of society – including education, agricultural advancement, politics and the arts. More than any other commodity, tobacco has influenced U.S. history, as well as our nation’s development and economic growth. Tobacco represented our country’s first cash crop. Exports of tobacco are credited for saving the struggling Jamestown Colony and financing our country’s fight for independence in the Revolutionary War.

The original Philip Morris was not the international consumer products company that we know today. Philip Morris was an English tobacco shop owner who opened a shop on Bond Street in London in the early 1850s. Shortly after the turn of the century, the Philip Morris company incorporated in New York
