    JH: Congrats, you got n7 right! Exxon Mobil, Standard Oil, Ohio, Sherman, Muckrakers, BP.

    • “Esso” = SO = Standard Oil of New Jersey, as distinct from Standard Oil of Ohio, Standard Oil of California etc.

      “Exxon” was a name contrived to replace Esso on some purported grounds about international use.

      Exxon Mobil was the result of the merger of Exxon and Mobil.

      It was only SOHIO that BP bought.
