The eighth-largest American manufacturing company in 1941 and the ninth-largest in 1979, Gulf Oil was one of the so-called Seven Sisters oil companies.

Under his direction ENI negotiated important oil concessions in the Middle East as well as a significant trade agreement with the Soviet Union which helped break the oligopoly of the ' Seven Sisters ' that dominated the mid 20th century oil industry.

To break the oligopoly of the ' Seven Sisters ' ( a term he coined to refer to the dominant oil companies of the mid-20th century ), Mattei initiated agreements with the poorest countries of the Middle East and countries of the former soviet bloc as well.

Mattei coined the term " Seven Sisters " to refer to the dominant oil companies of the mid-20th century.

" The Seven Sisters, the great oil companies and the world they made ".

It went on to become part of the " Seven Sisters " that dominated the world oil industry in the early 20th century.

Seven islets off the coast of Jurong were merged to create the 30 square kilometre Jurong Island, which is to be the base for oil, petrochemical and chemical industries.

The " Seven Sisters " was a term coined in the 1950s by businessman Enrico Mattei, then-head of the Italian state oil company Eni, to describe the seven oil companies which formed the " Consortium for Iran " cartel and dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the 1970s.

Prior to the oil crisis of 1973, the members of the Seven Sisters controlled around 85 % of the world's petroleum reserves, but in recent decades the dominance of the companies and their successors has declined as a result of the increasing influence of the OPEC cartel and state-owned oil companies in emerging-market economies.

The head of the Italian state oil company, Enrico Mattei sought membership for the Italian oil company Eni, but was rejected by what he dubbed the " Seven Sisters "-the Anglo-Saxon companies which largely controlled the Middle East ’ s oil production after World War II.

British writer Anthony Sampson took over the term when he wrote the book The Seven Sisters in 1975, to describe the shadowy oil cartel, which tried to eliminate competitors and control the world ’ s oil resource.

Being well-organized and able to negotiate as a cartel, the Seven Sisters were initially able to exert considerable power over Third World oil producers.

The Financial Times has used the label the " New Seven Sisters " to describe a group of what it argues are the most influential national oil and gas companies based in countries outside of the OECD.
