Champlain Motor Oil Company History

Champlin motor oil signThe Champlin Refining Company held the distinction of being the nation's largest fully integrated oil company under private ownership. was based at Enid, Oklahoma. In 1916 Enid, OK banker and entrepreneur Herbert Hiram Champlin (1868–1944) bought a lapsed oil lease on the Beggs farm in the fledgling Garber Field about fifteen miles east of Enid. Champlin was reluctant to enter the new and highly speculative oil business, but at his wife's urging he agreed to invest twenty-five thousand dollars in the venture.

Champlin's first well came in on Christmas Day 1916 as a 250-barrel producer. The banker-turned-oilman drilled more wells on his 160-acre lease and in July 1917 purchased a small refineries on the outskirts of Enid, enlarged it to provide a market for the oil from his wells, and established the Champlin Refining Company.  He purchased a series of small oil companies that operated service stations. As the organization grew, it drilled more wells, built a large pipeline network, opened additional refineries, and greatly expanded the retail operation, all under the auspices of Champlin's private ownership.
