Dan Moran
Dan Moran was the first President of Conoco oil company. After E. W. Marland lost control of Marland Oil Company to J. P. Morgan in 1928, Moran was brought in as the new president. Moran successfully acquired Continental Oil Company and merged it with Marland Oil creating a new company called Conoco. Moran ran Conoco from 1928 to 1947 and saw the company successfully through the great depression and World War II. Under Moran's leadership, Conoco became a pioneer in offshore drilling, continental pipelines, petrochemicals, and aviation fuel.[1][2][3]
