Early historyThe partnership was established in 1920 on the initiative of prime minister Billy Hughes.[1][2] The board was to consist of seven members, three representing the Commonwealth and four representing the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. The provisional board consisted of: Sir Robert Garran, M. C. Lockyer, and Robert Gibson for the Commonwealth, and F. H. Bathurst, Professor Payne, T. J. Greenway, and W. J. Windeyer for the oil company.[3] Greenway served as chairman for the first year. In 1924 it opened Australia's first oil refinery near Laverton, Victoria, north of the Melbourne - Geelong railway, adjacent to Kororoit Creek Road.[4][5] The refinery received its first shipment of crude oil on 12 March 1924, with product coming "on-stream" on 17 May 1924. The refinery had an annual processing capacity of 100,000 tons of crude oil. The refinery was shut down on 6 August 1955, eclipsed by much larger refineries being built around the country. In the 1930s the company was involved in oil search ventures.[6] BPIn 1952, the Menzies Coalition government sold the Australian government's interest in COR to the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, which became the British Petroleum Company (BP) in 1954. In 1955 it developed a refinery at Kwinana, Western Australia[7] BP/CORBetween 1952 and 1959, BP Australia branded its standard-grade petrol as COR, but then dropped the name.[8][9] See also{{Portal|Australia|Companies|Energy}}
