The second venture, Motiva Enterprises, merged the Eastern and Gulf Coast operations of Shell Oil with Star Enterprise, a joint venture involving Saudi Aramco and Texaco. Following Texaco's merger with Chevron in 2001, Shell acquired Texaco's stakes in these joint ventures. By 2002, Shell initiated the rebranding of Texaco stations to the Shell brand, a transition that was completed by June 2004 and was recognized as "the largest retail re-branding initiative in American business history."
