Atlantic Petroleum was an oil company in the eastern United States headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Atlantic was founded as the Atlantic Petroleum Storage Company in 1866. In 1874, the company, now known as Atlantic Refining, was purchased by John D. Rockefeller and integrated as part of Standard Oil. The acquisition gave Rockefeller a major East Coast presence in his growing empire, which later became Atlantic Oil & Co. This oil was imported from the USA for the French market.
