Over the subsequent decades, Jersey Standard experienced substantial growth. The inaugural president of Jersey Standard was John Duston Archbold, who was succeeded by Walter C. Teagle in 1917, under whose leadership the company became the largest oil enterprise globally. In 1919, Jersey Standard acquired a 50% stake in Humble Oil & Refining Co., a Texas-based oil producer. The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1920. In the years that followed, it either acquired or established several entities, including the Tropical Oil Company of Colombia in 1920, the Standard Oil Company of Venezuela in 1921, and the Creole Petroleum Company of Venezuela in 1928. In the Asia-Pacific region, Jersey Standard, through its Dutch subsidiary, founded an exploration and production company, Nederlandsche Koloniale Petroleum Maatschappij, in 1912. The company discovered oil in Indonesia in 1922 and constructed a refinery in Sumatra in 1927. While it had oil production and refineries, it lacked a marketing network.
