History

Jet Petroleum was formed in Yorkshire in 1954 by Canadian-born Bill Roberts. Conoco acquired Jet in 1961.^[2]

The Jet service station network in Ireland was acquired by Statoil in 1996. Maxol acquired 50 Jet/Statoil-branded sites as a condition of the acquisition.^{[citation needed]}

Parent company Conoco merged with Phillips Petroleum in 2002 to form ConocoPhillips.^[3]

In September 2007, Statoil also acquired all Nordic stations; however, they continued to use the Jet brand name^[4] until 2014 when the Nordic stations were rebranded to the new brand name Ingo.

ConocoPhillips spun off downstream assets to form Phillips 66, which included the Jet service station brand.^[5]
