Eldorado, Kansas Refinery

I've been around a lot of oil fields, and it is certainly not typical to have an oil company logo on the storage tanks or brine tanks which are out in the field.  Normally, they are painted with aluminum paint and gradually accumulate a grey color, with some streaks of grimy black and a little rust.  Usually an independent producer and not an oil company owns the wells, along with the pump jacks and tanks.  In California oil fields it was more typical for oil companies to own large leases and to pump their own crude, but, again, there was no need for logos in the field.

At refineries, however, tanks are often white with oil company logos.

I worked there in the early 70s but don't know. Worked for Blackburn.

I will get in touch with my brother in law. He may know.

My brother in law worked many years in that  at plant. It was first El rickop then Texico and then frontier. Logo was cicll red & white

Thanks were white.

Well, thanks, #90, I may have to repaint.  I painted one dirty black (as I commonly

see them near walking beams in the Midwest), and one white.  And, no, I can't say

I've seen oil company logos on any of the tanks, pumps, or whatever in the field, either.  And, srfulton, the aerial views of both Cheyenne and El Dorado Frontier refineries do show mostly white tanks.  But I am not building a refinery, just storage tanks for a couple of pumps.
